well since i happen to have some spare funds lying around i thought it time to get a new psu (and kinda sorta since my old one blew away ughh..stay away from Vigor XG PSU's)well i was wary of the x-connect but i was gettin it brand new for 60 so i had to take this deal...any ways..heres the new wire management (dont laugh at the stock board...my IC7 is away on RMA....and the water cooler is kinda useless on stock so....)
ive got 2 harddrives, one DVD+/-RW, P43ghz, and a GeForce 6800 Ultra.......

Looks pretty good, but I gta few suggestions

The red, comment
Try to turn the hdd's around, it seems that you have some room, and because your using regular cables, they should be fexible enough for that

Blue:
Tuck it in beside the drive bay, under the rest of the wires

Green:
same as above

i tried turnin the hdds around..and it was a pain to get the cables in...anyone with a tsunami dream can help me with this id be greatly appreciative...and the big ATX cable...well its an X-Connect...so the whole flexibility thing is completly blown away...i tried pushin it in there...but it was a no budge

can you at least put on op them in the 3.25 slot if free? reversing the HDD is hard and not possible becasue that 120mm fan is in the way. so you cant. unless you take it out... but yea. try putting the HDD on way to or bottom. so cool air is blown in not hot air that is created from the HDD. but i guess you can tape some of those wires.

Anyways
Good job!
bigdaddy25fb
yeah..that fan is def in the way..but im not gonna move em up either..i like the cool air blowin on those bad boys...

Doesn't make much difference in hard drive temp. if you move the drives up into the 3.5" drive bay, I tried it once.

It's ok, but you can do better. If you want some inspiration, here it is tongue.gif

You should be able to turn the HDD's around without too much trouble. I was able to do that on my raidmax case pretty easily. Other than the things already pointed out it looks pretty good.

stiff cables

nice job..that is one of the neatest wiring jobs I have seen!
you hiding em under that foam on the floor of the case? tongue.gif
martymcfly
hiding wires is cheating. you must do away with them entirely. All components nowadays are wireless. Not many people know that. I have an entirely wireless setup. I am still trying to get my bios to detect my hard drive. And for the computer to turn on in the first place. laugh.gif
