Cable management Advice

igotsnomoney

So between my horrifying schedule of my university classes, I finally had time to clean up my system.  It runs great, and "relatively" cool, but like many other people I am way to obsessed with the cable management. I spent hours on it already and I still think it could be a little cleaner.

 

Any thoughts I would gladly appreciate it.

 

P.S I know the H80i isn't a good cooler, I got it as a gift and it sure looked a hell of a lot cooler then my other option (Stock intel)

putting the gpu cables such as the power connectors higher than your sata cables would be nice.. that way they wouldn't be drooping down... you could use any number of ways to do that... from cable ties to tape.

Looks really good to me. (Especially compared to mine. I wish I had a modular PSU.)

i would tie up the wires a bit better over by the drive cages. try and keep them behind the motherboard tray. other that that its pretty good

3 things:

   -put your hard drive and ssd closer to each other near the top racks so that you don't have cables showing back there.

   -put your Motherboard connectors through the upper grommet (where the gpu power goes thru); it will camouflage with the other cables

   -just tighten your cables in general (not too tight, but there doesn't need to be much slack

 

It's a nice looking build with dat sexy sli/cfx  :)

A few recommendations:

-Put the SSD and HDD closer together and zip tie all of the sata power connectors behind the motherboard.

-Front panel IO could be routed under the motherboard (USB and Audio, power and reset).  That alone would make it look 3x better

-you are defeating the purpose of the sleeved cable by bunching them together like that

-Zip tie everything to the back of the motherboard that is popping out near the HDD cages

-Route the PCIE connectors parallel to the gpu it powers

 

But in all honesty, that doesn't look bad besides the front panel connectors  :P

Looks better then mine right now. 

 

However your dust collection on the bottom of the case by the HDD trays is bugging me >.<
