I liked it when you left the front sides unpainted at first. It looks even better all black. Very nice.

Thanks Halo and YerBuddy. I'm very happy with it

BTW already got a BR for it on old forum, thanks though.

Ha!  You answered my question.  I had not thought of that thanks!

I like the 24 pin sleeving, very nice look. Did u just punch out the mesh and tape an acrylic window to it?

If you don't want to do any modding, here's some quick tips:

1. The space underneath the last drive bay is great for stashing unused cables. Fold the cables nicely then use a twist or zip tie to keep it compact. Push them back as far as possible without feeling like you're "kinking" the cable.

2. There's two stock cable management holes next to the power supply; Use the bottom one as little as possible, and then only for thinner cables. Use the top one for the thicker 24 pin, the bar that holds on the back side panel doesn't block it.

3. PCIe cables... those are tough to make look good. Zip tie them together and then maybe tie them to a sata cable (not with too much tension). See if you can run it along with the sata cables.

4. Try folding the sata cables 90, so they go down. I think it would look nice with the PCIe running with it. Just a thought.

5. 8 pin CPU atx... again a tough one. As you can see in my original pic (the one you posted), I didn't do a great job with that. I suggest running it along the sata/pci cables, then between the GPU and motherboard, then up into the 8 pin port.

6. Fans can fit nicely underneath the motherboard itself, as you can see in the pic above. (top right corner of mobo)

7. Don't be afraid to let some cables from the PSU flow along the side of the tray (as seen in pic above).

8. Oh and for the sata power connectors... I use the adapters that came with the x58 mobo rather than the PSU cable. Thinner, black, and less ugly. And one less cable that has to go behind the motherboard tray.

As for the back of the case....

1. The space between the case and side panel is thickest at the drive bays, this is where the 24 pin should curve. You can get away with bundling the smaller cables and tying them down there as well.

2. Where it isn't thick, keep cables taught and tie them down close to the openings.

3. The front panel ports fit without a problem behind the motherboard tray in the thin part; apart from the esata cable, curve it along the back and to the top opening.

4. Don't be afraid to push firmly when it's time to close the back side panel.

I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures of the back of the mobo tray with all the cables.

Check out the cable management rating game thread in the mods rigs section for some inspiration.

Also... it will take time and possibly a few start agains, but just be patient with it, take a few breaks if want (or a nap). And come back with a fresh outlook. Good luck.

Let me know if you want some more info on tidying up cables in this beast of a case
