That's the cable for the audigy2 gameport.

Ah. I'll see if I can mount the drive the other way.

I beat hardnrg to a post...... tongue.gif

Another pic! biggrin.gif
hardnrg
what you can do is put that cable under the gap of the audigy2... like between the pci slot and the back of the case, run it under there... i have to do the same with my msi led thing...

also, you can sleeve that cable fairly easy, pull the wires apart like tearing thin strips of paper, leave maybe 2 inches on one end (so they don't separate while you mod it), pop the connector of one end, put a heatshrink on, then sleeving, then another heatshrink, pop connector back on, shrink, and hay presto!

edit: heh, yeah, everyone's beating me these days... especially Nerm... he must be overclocking HIMSELF in that freezer box of a computer room! laugh.gif

I will look into that sleeving, and definetely re-route that gameport cable. I can put sleeving on that big ide-looking cable that runs behind the motherboard? That would be nice because it slips down sometimes.
hardnrg
yeah, is that the pseudo ide cable for the LiveDrive? cos i got the Live Platinum 5.1 and i haven't sleeved it yet, but i separated the ribbon cable into groups of four (mini ribbons) and then taped it up so it's sort of sleeved but not... haha, i'd show you a picture but i'm sure you understand...

yeah when i sleeve it properly i'll separate them all down to single wires... maybe colour the ends of the wire black too for fun, lol

That looks pretty nice. Any chance you can come over and clean up my wires like that. tongue.gif I'll have to post some pics soon. I bet I can make some OCC members cringe.

That's it, the live drive cable. I might still look into some kind of sleeving for it, but it isn't affecting the airflow much, and I'm going for airflow instead of looks. smile.gif

All the current work has been done without spending any money on extra wire management supplies, so it's pretty good in that aspect.

Hyper what is that mount for CPU and Video Intake? Made by ThermalTake ( I would assume so since everything else is tongue.gif )
hardnrg
yeah no worries HT, that's why i've sort of rounded that cable without the sleeving! (just cost about 20cm of electrical tape) lol, its easier to route it around like that instead of the flat ribbon... no folding required!

(let your computer do the folding! biggrin.gif)

Huh? blink.gif The two fans on the side panel are the stock tt silent fans.. The panel is stock, but most with xasers don't use it.
yatstv
all i know is thats not a bad attempt, cause these xaser cases are a sod to hide the wires, there is soo many

Yeah, tons of wires for all the stuff, even if you remove the hardcano. Not much room to hide the mess either.

your wires are pretty good. Mine are kind of messy, but Im not really going to worry about them unil I get my WC installed....gah, crappy pic!

Wire Managment looks good guys.

Mine always starts off nice. After switch out hardware a couple of times, rearrange the H20, etc...it seems to get jumbled up and goes back to looking messy. Really don't care though, as long as it runs like Superman...we're good to go biggrin.gif
DarkScorpion
Hahaha, how does your window look in my case, nuc? tongue.gif
