Cable Management

[DarylVTR]

Has anyone got any bright ideas for cable management in a midi tower?

I have bought a modular PSU so that helps alot but still i have seen neater cabling in a case! My case is a pain as it has fans all over the place so its hard to reach 1 molex from one rail from 1 side to another.....

Has anyone managed to make their cabling neat and tidy? If so how?

nah cable ties dont really do much other than clump wires together, they do not hide them

Can you put the wires behind the motherboard tray perhapse?

I used to do case modding and all that jazz....

I can either guide you through it or do it for you but im far away and my PC wrench time isn't cheap because it isn't nasty.....

You have a few options but most of the PC's ive done have been themed so the IDE/sATA cables (the worst) have been disguised in other parts etc.....

Send me a few piccys of your case and the internals etc and ill give you you're options
