Decided to spend some extra time on cable management while installing my new PSU.

Nothin special but I'm pretty pleased with how far its come from conception :)

The kitty approves! :D

Looks like my previous attempt at cable management. Pretty sure you can manage to hide those cables in the hdd trays :p (I did after someone called mine an italian dish of pasta) Same case too... (I think)

Haha, it's harder to tell but my Black Lab is watching on the other side of the case.

Yeah, I gotta figure out what to do with those, the power source is non-modular and has way too many extra rails lol.

Exactly my thoughts before fixing that issue. You can tuck them accross the backplate using zip ties, it's not impossible. Just gotta plan it well before hand.

And yeah, I wasn't sure if that was a dog or not :p

Haha I'm very tempted to try it, but it probably wont do much good since I have to run the fan controller to the side fans through that area anyways.
 
I've done, redone, and redone this thing and was just never happy with the results, mainly because of the fact that you always have lots of slop in the power cables between the components (from drive to drive, etc). So, I finally took matters into my own hands here to fix that problem. I then took the top of my case off and rerouted some of the wires/cables. I'm rather happy with the end results. :thup:

Fan wires were the worse to sort out. Still working on how to hide them better with smaller zips and dark hidden areas. Fully Module PSU is best friend of clean cases.
 
Exchanged my 550ti for a 470 and glad I did.

How to cable manage neat and tidy.

My new build 2012 and cable management, using ties and sticky pads to hold cables neatly in place.
