Cable Management Assistance.

Hi,

 

I seem to be having some issues with my current build. Most pictures I see of PC's have rarely any wires sticking out, I can't seem to get that done with mine. Its literally impossible. My case has several front panel connector wires coming from the top clearly visible. Heres a picture:

I think that's pretty fine. 

Is your power supply modular? Do you have cable managing in the case?

In general just make all of the cables tighter, so that in the parts of the case that you do see cables, they are nice and straight. Especially focus on the part on the bottom of the case, that looks a bit messy

 

 

That is what my general idea was when doing mine, and I think it turned out pretty good

Sadly the PSU isn't modular.

There is cable managing available in this case, but I really don't see how it would be beneficial to me.

Hard Drive/SSD SATA cables are bulging out

Okay then. You could try to use some "force" to get the cables a bit tighter in the back. Also, you should tie them together, like Mcdoorknob mentioned.

If possible then route every cable behind the motherboard tray, through the closest hole, that way, you see the least amount of cable possible.

Also you could heat shrink some of the front panel cables, or sleeve them to blend in

Wow! That is amazing! My case is a bit stupidly designed. It has a complete vertical cut out, so you can see all the cables to make it look horrible. Xigmatek.. meh..

I'll try that. Should I connect the sata cables directly to sata ports or route them to the back and to the front again - Like I did with the CD Drive

You could do that.

I tied the incoming front panel connectors. Looks a bit better, however I can't seem to hide those sata cables.

Also I am planning on replacing the back fan and front hard drive fan(on cage). How do I know if the fans are an exhaust fan or intake fan.

Alright. Its done as best as I can.

Well you have to check which way the fan is on. Some of them have the direction labeled with an arrow or something but you can always feel the airflow.
