Well, I know is definitely not the best in the world but I decided to take a shot in rewiring my Lian-Li 1000 yesterday. I got this rig for 5-6 months already and I just never cleaned up the wire because I just didnt know how to. I don't think the LL1000 is the best case if you want to have your motherboard wireless. The E-Z plug on the A8N forces me to bring the wires up =(. Pics are below, the quality is not that good because I don't have enough lighting in my home and the cam is just not that great, but bare with me as I'm still waiting to buy a fancier digi cam.

IMO LL1000 is not the best in hiding wires. I actually like how the P180 goes, where you get keep all your wires on the HD cage. Neverthless, I still love this case. Its been good to me for the past few months. I got to say I might want to buy a cheap powersupply and practice sleeving it. It just looks so much better when is sleeved.

Wonderful improvement. I'd give it a 7 on the Dynamix scale, but in comparison to your old stuff, it's a hell of a lot better. Are you done for now, or are you going to keep at it? Also, I'd post a messages in the Freebie Forums for a dead PSU (you just pay for shipping), and you can practice sleeving.

Ah thanks tasburrfoot I'll keep that forum in mind. I'll keep the wiring for now until I get "hit" with an urge to make it "better" again haha. But, is going to be tough I think i'm almost at my limit. Maybe when I do some sleeving it'll be better.

Very nice improvement. One thing that I like to do with wires when they're not sleeved is to just twist them. That makes the cable easier to route and move since it becomes one cable, instead of four cables right next to each other (plus it looks kinda cool). Also, you might want to try to fold that IDE cable behind the drive cages instead of right underneath your drives. Check out my pics here to see what I'm talking about.
