I have an Acrylic case (it looks like glass but it's not...anyway it's 100% see-through. Very nice) with about 5 fans, lights, and all sorts of cables all over the place. As of the moment I have managed to make it look less messy by using black-tube-wire-managers (so basically you see two black tubes running around in there). How do you guys manage your misc cables? I think you put them behind your motherboard, but the cables aren't long enough. Get extensions?

If you could just tell me how you did yours, I could learn a bit laugh.gif

i cut up all my fan wires and spliced them together. i used a lot of speaker wire to extend some of them.

They *do* sell wire extenders, y'know? xD

I did a lot of cutting up and soldering but i think this is it, i have two PSU running in there and one of them looks like an octopus on purpose smile.gif

so that thing protruding from the top is a second PSU? Is it actually attached or just lies there? Your comp looks pretty cool. nice job with it smile.gif Are those harddrive coolers underneath the drive bays? the things with the two fans on top of them.
