I recently changed all my hardware into a bigger case as a way to get better airflow. I went from a generic midsize case to the case listed in my sig, but my problem is in how the power cables ended up. Though I bundled them as best I could, they are all in a big jumble, and seem to be blocking a lot of the airflow. I am thinking about going in and trying to reroute them one by one, to see if it will help.
Any thoughts would be appreciated :cool:

That was before ^^
This is what an afternoon of rearranging everything has accomplished:

I'm not sure these cables would fit behind the board. They might, but I don't think I'd get more than one or two back there and still get them to plug in. I'm pretty happy with the solution I came up with, and if you compare the two pics, it becomes obvious why. If you notice, I was able to get rid of two cables all together that were in that big jumble of cables. They are up behind the PS now. And moving the HDD helped a lot, as did removing all the series wires for the fans. 3 of 4 fans now run off of the board. I actually did the modification right after I put this up, because even though I asked the question, I pretty much already knew the answer.
Thank you guys for the advice though, I will keep it in mind for the future. I may play with this idea. :)
