Nice man. If you want to improve it even more, try turning the hard drives around so that the connectors are on the back. I like those SATA/power connectors though, I might pick one up to go with my scythe quiet drive enclosure I'm getting soon.

Not enough room in the back, i tried it like that first.... Plus i think it looks kinda cool the way it is. The connectors are awesome, i picked mine up at svc, great deal imo.
 
Dang after seeing stuff like this I feel like I should hire someone here to do my cable management for me 😉 Even after spending a couple hours trying to do it mine still looks like crap compared to those :frown:

meh, I guess I'm just not too good at cable management.

Nice job :thumbsup:
 
great job!

cable management isnt that hard imo, you just need time, usually when I build computers for people, it usually takes me under 2 hours to put together (including wire management)

Alot also depends what you have to work with.... If i had a better PS that had better cables, then it wouldnt have been so bad.
 
It looks great, but just one idea, turn your HDDs around, so that the wires can be easily snaked out the back.

Pfft... Thanks a LOT! Now I'll be laying awake in bed every night, until I figure out a way to do this!!!

Let's see... wires in 'back' and 120 in 'front'. Easy!

Wait a minute! Front is back, and back is front now!

Take the 120 out of the front and put it in back, and put the wires in the front instead of the back...

Grrrr... Doesn't fit! What if I blah, blah, blah?

Okay, thanks again! See you in a couple of weeks :laugh:
 
Look really nice, i have an antec p-180 and an antec TP 2.0 PSU. And the wires on that psu are so long, it is hard to do cable management in this case because of the lower chamber fan. But i have somewhat of cable management and my 4400+ idles at 34c in this case. Oh and nice job.

Everything looks great, Buck!

Wish I would have bought a Silent Square! Im trying out a Scythe Mine 3, and I'm not too happy with it. Long story, but someone's gonna get a heck of a deal on eBay, when and if my Tuniq Tower ever arrives...

Anyway, nice looking setup you have there!

 
I'm getting a modular PSU (Enermax Liberty 500w) soon to help with my cable mess. I should get a pack of zip ties, too 😛

Where the hell do you get zip ties?

WalMart. They have big packs of all colors/sizes for cheap.
 
that's about as neat as I'd always imagined my case would be, had I the ambition, dedication, and talent.
congrats, and enjoy!
