Help with my messy case

I have taken several hours troubleshooting this fairly small case ( hot glue gun, and stuff you don't even want to know about ).

Anyway, let me know what I can improve on!


Antec Sonata
 
Try turning the hard drive around (wires in the back). Other than that you've done the best possible with your setup. Just be glad you don't have an Audigy Platinum with ribbon cables and crap running from the card to the front bay box.
 
you could try sleeving the rest of the wires. also, after that you could run the wires from that orange fan on the cpu heatsink back behind the motherboard. good luck with this. i'm trying to clean mine up too and it just never seems quite right.
 
flip your hdd around so the cables are towards the inside. move your cd drive up one and have all your cables under it.

here's mine for reference: antec sonata
 
That's actually where the optional fan mounts from Antec!

I haven't built up my Intel 915PBL board yet(need cash for MEM and VID), and I have the Sonata. I may sell it and get Sonata II per linky elsewhere here about Sonata II.

Nice PIC inside BTW

Great looking case.

I will try the flipping the hard drive around (that is an awsome idea btw) But, with the amount of cable ties I have on my cables, I don't view it as worth it to change where all my cables go.

I am particularly looking for a soulution to my mobo's 4 pin connector. currently it goes across the entire mobo, but putting it with the 20 pin connector makes it look to messy I belive. LMK what you think

Also, sleeving the wires it not worth it imo. For the 22 canadian + tax for the sleeves and then the time I have to put in I might as well just buy a pre-sleeved psu.

Thanks for your replies!
 
Man, don't you hate how the 20 pin ATX conenctor on the NF7-S is all the way to the left? Anyway, do what I did and hide the 4-pin 12v cord right behind the ATX cord and zip tie it in place.
 
Also, if you don't plan on putting some UV cathodes in there, you might consider switching to ribbon IDE and floppy cables and busting out some IDE origami.
