That's awesome and love all the volt and filter modds.

Alrighty, I'm back!
Took some time to do some cable management on the backside, and here are the results. Sorry, it took a while, been working, plus its hard to work very long in this damn Boston heat:
Basically, I sleeved or covered the 4 channels blocks of fanbus--you can make them out pretty easily.
Next I "fabricated" a lid to cover the OCZ unused cable block. By fabricate, I mean I took and cut up a takeout tupperware. It once housed some pretty mean quesadillas (Bella Luna, JP).
I did a little more rearranging. I could definitely clean things up more by making some more custom cables, but I think I'm done with this project.
Enjoy,

OK, here is a bit of weirdness! I am now looking at this thread in Mozilla Firefox running under Linux, and the pics are just fine. I think my Windows is broken again. Bloody Windows!
Anyway...
Wow, what a sweet piece of work. I like the "keep it stock" philosophy. Esthetics is a nice thing to think about but cable clutter is not a cooling issue with your rig. The final adjustments you made look fine.
Keep up the good work.

Was there a specific issue that you couldn't get to work?
If it helps, I've labeled up my pic from above:
The wireless unit had a bunch of wires for different purposes:
Ground and red for a 12V voltage source: I bought 115VAC to 12V power plug ($8) with sufficient amperage (I've forgotten exactly, something like 500mA). I bought a power plug that mounts into the wall of the unit by a simple screw-on washer, after drilling an appropriate sized hole. The leads for the unit get wired to the jack. The plug power source gets spliced into a fitting plug. The 2 go together and voila its got power. All items are available from radioshack (but pricier than other online retailers).
The unit provides 2 types of circuit--normal open (NO) (blue and white leads) or normal closed (green and white leads). We want normal open so that the usual state of the unit is non-jumped, ie computer off. Which is why the green NC wire is tucked off to the side. The blue and white leads are wired into motherboard pin connectors.
I wanted to provided a safety switch, so that is wired into the NO leads/motherboard pins, setup to jump the pins independently of the wireless unit. It's a simple SPST switch mounted into the case wall the same way.
Finally I swapped out the LED for a 3mm, fortunately the voltages are the same.
Hope it helps, any questions?

navig could you tell me where you got this wireless rf key switch at
* oh sorry for bringing this thread up again i am just loving the wireless rf key switch idea and need more info since electronis were never my thing
