thelusk Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 everything installed... any one have some tips on cable management? I don't even know where to start. Nice build none the less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhiannon Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 everything installed... any one have some tips on cable management? Without trying to sound too harsh, my tip would be to not do it like that. Get your self some zip ties, and sleeves, and some black electric tape or small velcro straps, and then start looking for ways to run some of those wires behind the mobo tray, or along the seams and corners in the case. Theres a really good guide over on OCN, if I can find it I'll link you to it. Nice build though, man. I used to have (and love) that case. EDIT: Found it. Here you go, sir! http://www.overclock.net/case-mods-general-discussion/604645-cable-management-101-deano12345.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermep Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks for that link! When I get some free time I'm going to attempt to get this mess cleaned up. I know it will help with airflow as well... even though all my parts run well below the norm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarone Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 LMAO sweet crap man, I've never seen a modular PSU so messy Just set aside like an hour or two and try your hardest to clean it all up and I'm sure you can make it look real slick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermep Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 One of my biggest issues was with the sata cables. I have to flip them upside down on one section to get them to go on. Im thinking of moving the PATA DVDRW to the top and move the bluray down to try to help with that problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermep Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Ok! I rewired it now. Made the 20 pin MOBO power connector go through the tray, and the front USB, front 1394, front audio, some of the sata cords, etc Here it is now: Another angle Lower section And the back section showing what I pulled through there Here's the new temps And the CPU settings Cheers all and thanks for the help!

BizaroStormy Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Ya the old Antec 900 case is bad when it comes to cable management, everything else about it rocks though. The Antec 900 two, however improves on cable management features allot and has a black interior, and blue led fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Nice improvement on the cables... I thought mine were a mess until I saw your original photos!! I noticed after painting the inside of my case black that the mess of the wires looks less like a mess -- that might be an option later down the road.
