Just tie back all those cables with string or that plastic tie stuff, then shove all the cables that are visable into the 5 and 3 inch bays underneth the cd-roms and hard disk drives. it works for me :)

lol, i was gonna say, that must have taken a year, nice win mod tho, get some molding, really thin stuff looks the best

a couple of ideas.
1: for moulding, mid gague(sp?) wire splid down the center and super glued on every 6-8" works well.
2: i find it easier to run all my IDE cables first withe the PSU out of the case and than mount the PSU and run the wires, power wires are easier to run than IDE(even rounded ones)

Looks really nice, Athlonman. I don't know how it would look, but you might wrap some of your wires together with black electrical tape. You've inspired me. Now I'm thinking about putting a window in mine.

You know that black molding that usually goes around windows (it's called c-molding, originally designed for cars).

Well, get some of the clear stuff - there is just enough space to fit some EL in it, giving it a really cool border effect.

Nice job on the window/paint man!
