Yea, had to scroll around so many times to see each section, mainly wire managment seemed the problem, but you said you gave up on that...

use onlt 1 power line from you power supple and take the other ones and hide them behind the cd drive and hdd housing then take as many cables and hide them with twist ties or sip ties or rubba bands or what ever

i have an xaser II too and i got mine pretty crap neeat exceopt for my atx cable (nf7-s rev 2)

please don't take this the wrong way, but what is the point of the window if you're just gonna have a god-awful mess in there like that?

here's a cheap way of sorting it out, get some black electrical insulation tape and kinda spiral wrap it round those ugly multi-coloured power cables, then think about re-routing some of your cables possibly on the far side of the drive cages, most cases have a gap down that side...

bad wire management behind a desk, who cares, don't really look at it...

bad wire management behind a side window, negates the point of having one at all...

Get a side cover without a window, then you do not see it!

Actually, it looks like your cables can easily be hidden, maybe you made an effort, but it doesnt seem like it.

1. Those IDE cables, it looks liek they were just tossedin there, fold it a bit an dhide it into other empty drive bays, route it around the back of the drive bay.

2. Wires at bottom of case, those OBVIOUSLY show no effort. . Bundle them up and tape/zip tie it to the other end of the 3.5" drive bay. See those holes? Use a zip tie and make a loop, then put your bundle in there

3. That small bundle in the middle of the window with a rubber band securing it. Why not tuck that into an empty drive bay? That goes for all those other VERY VERY long cables that can obvioulsy be hidden.

4. Lead thats infront of your Volcanoe 12, not a good idea to put it there, molex might get caught in fan, why not tuck it ONTOP of the heatsink, not dangling it infront

well thats all I can help you on from those pics, good luck! and if you do take any of my suggstions, remembre to put some pics smile.gif
