as u can see i need some wire management but i really dont know where to start i'm gettin another round ide cable tomorrow but how do i get rid of all the psu wires?!?!
asus
first.. see that BAR across the top.. hide wire there, as for the rest, idk if you have room to hide them... try sliping them under the mobo.. for the visibal ones.. i sugest using heat shrink or if you dont want to remove the moltex connectores use SPLIT wireloom.. it will look a bagillion times better!

this heatshrink and split wireloom you talk of where can i get these in exchange for money

it looks like you have got a 60mm fan Bluetacked to a 80mm hole?
a cheap 80mm fan would look a lot nicer to start with as well.
the mobo power wires can go between the psu and the otherside of the case, and then follow the other suggestions.

I found with mine that it was no good unless i took the whole lot apart and started from scratch, it made it a lot easier to find places to hide the wires.
I used sandwich bag ties to tie any loose wire I found, and i tied them to anytihng that was clsose by.
mine is a lot lot neater now. will take some pics if i remember.

it's only a 60mm hole mad.gif it really pissed me off cos i wanted an 80mm fan there but it won't fit an that 60mm fan doesnt have any way to screw on cos it was attatched to a heat sink by clips stupid intel and there alternative ways of attatchin fans

sorry if i brought back some bad memories =)
you could strip the whole lot down, take a dremel to the case, put an 80mm fan in.
then put it all back together hiding all the wires?
Rick_fourdumbkids
yeah i'd love to dremel the case but i'm lacking one important component the dremel dry.gif i think i'm gonna strip it all down and rebuild hiding the wires should be a fun day ph34r.gif

Yeah, zip ties and split loom(from an auto store) are your friends. Also, as is often suggested here at the forums, you can just fold your ide ribbons and electrical tape them to create rounded cables. Other than that, just try to store stuff in between drives, behind the mobo, and behind that bar at the top.


also, does it really save you any time to say "N E 1" as opposed to any one? It just seems like a lot of work and its a little obnoxious tongue.gif
