okay so I got my first case with the window...I need help consealing wires etc now and arrangement, it is just scary messy.....I have round cables for my drives, but it is all the wires to the er 7 fans and the 2 uv lights.

all i can say is buy some zip ties and do your best

hide wires in unused 3.25 bays and any crevices that will get them outta the way of airflow.

yeah, empty rive bays are your friend, just tie the cables from the rear fans up and run em along the side and itl'l be no prob

unlike my case, there good points and bad points about my case, good is that the whole motherboard panel can tilt down, enabling you free accses to everythign on it so you dont need to reech in and hope for the best, the bad thing is that you need to untie all the wires evertimg you do, u need to do that when you add pci cards too :/

open up the psu and conceal all the unused psu wires in there, (at your own risk) and like other are sayin zip tie to the chassis etc. black elictrical tape is my friend, some duct tape as well wink.gif

use the used pci slots to your advantage, slip some wires through there and hide em. also, with the wires that have to be seen zip tie the ones that are loose to them. Also, you can always build yourself an enclosure to hide wires as well, that works rather nice!

anyways hope this helps some, good luck!
Ciros
thnx, I got them under somewhat control, just have some wires on the bottom that are annoying me now...lol

Ciros
goto pics

the images are about 640x480

there are 6 of them
Special_K
nice start now work on the ones on the bottom and right side, tuck em, hide em, disguise em, try em all out see what works.

good start though! wink.gif
Ciros
thnx...yeah, those are the ones I need to figure something out with........I just dunno...the side ones I could build a enclosure for the bottom ones I dunno.
Special_K
that would be sweet... also that neon on the bottom is rather large, why not invest in a UV CCFL?
Ciros
I wish I ordered 2 when I bought the case, but yeah....I just need the uv tube part of the unit I have then I can have 2 ...but I dont think I can just get the tube, I am gonna have to end up talking to the place I purchased it.


heh, I have been looking at the fourms for a long time, and have seen how some of the ractions have been hence why I wanted to flean the wires up some before taking pics etc.
Special_K
you know, ccfls are larger and brigher, and not too bad for the price. Also, they are cooler than neons, helpin your case temps.
BeatRyder
Or you can use LED's I have a bar with 20 of them, and its pretty good
asus
wow man.. your case has a lot of potential "Ciros" it looks great.. i love that HSF by thermalright or whoever!! Or o ya.. coolermasters!! love it!! I love the mobo.. and the uv moltex connecters.. now just hide the wires.. to give you an example.. this is my case befor i did anythig with the wires.. its scary so... Viewer decression is advised!! lol
caffeinejunkie
I also love that hsf. Almost makes me want to go back to aircooling tongue.gif
Ciros
well I got the wire mess on the bottom cleaned up ...well hidden... ph34r.gif anyways I dont think I will be doing much to the right, atleast anymore, as I like how it looks wink.gif I got the wire mesh/uv reactive for that effect, and dont wanna hide it. haha
it also makes it kinda like a machine still you know....lol.



I might mesh the psu cables but that would be all....

**update new2 pics of the wires hidden better
