I appreciate it thanks!

[Riddler356]

This is very simmilar to mine, but it is all sata connectors for me. thank you FulllyModular PSU

[Aleks]

My biggest issue when it comes to organizing my cables is the mess all of the sata/sata power cables make.

What is Hardforum?

Nope, its not done yet, infact it'll never be done as my PSU has some awkardly short wires

[Lyons]

Tips:

 

- use cable ties

- get rid of useless wires like the hard drive activity light

- fully modular PSU's help

- braided cables (the fabric kind, not plastic) help as they are more flexible

- all black cables look more minimal even though they're still there

- try to minimise the use of Molex cables/connectors as they are massive. If you can, get piggy back Molex connectors so they're all in one place

- run your fans all to one spot, you can make a molex to fan splitter really easily with some wire and other bits

Yup

That looks absolutely beautiful. I suppose you are running off a server? Also, I noticed you didn't connect the audio header. Do you not get sound?

Thanks! my storage is network attached which helps clean it up a lot (my SSD in in the optical bays along with my 7v fan adapters). I use a USB DAC so I have no need for the mobo audio connector, removing it completely helped minimise the amount of cables.

How do you get so the 24Pin looks like it's bending a little? Because mine looks like shit.. And have you sleeved your cables?  But anyways, awesome build

Lyons, your cable management is immaculate... I'm just floored at how the back of that motherboard tray looks.
 
Here's my contribution. Trust me, you don't want to see the back side...

Looks great! I am really happy with everyone contributing to this thread!

I am guessing it is because he is using sleeved cables.

The pictures look like junk but anyway here they are. Frankly the cable management is not great. Also my old gpu, doesn't matter haven't changed anything.

Built in one with the phantom 630/530.

Not really the best cable management, but I think it's okay in the front. I'm Lazy and don't really care about the back..

[_TechPuppet_]

Im not done with my cable sleeving yet, still have some cables still left to do but here is my cable management for now.

 

 

 

 

Bought new fans that go with the build, just wanted to post another pic to show what it looks like now.

 

[iconic jamie]

Just my examples

Tip: Make sure cable mess is not seen in photo and pretend you have good management 

 

 

But in all seriousness heres mine, not your standard PC form factor though. I think its all about really planning cable runs, and taking your time and taming the mess.

Not the best quality pictures but you get the idea .  Tubing, fans, and hdd cage are temporary.
