I was looking for a mod or some cool tricks to manage my cables on for my new build.

acrylic panels on the sides and top

horizon profile motherboard

 

3x 360 monsta rads with push/pull

2 pumps and 2 400mm reservoir near the front

4x GTX 680 classified hydro coppers

2 blocks on the motherboard CPU block

SilverStone Strider 1500w PSU

 

I think this should be enough information, but if you have any questions or ideas, i'd love to hear them. I always hear that cable management is a bitch on these cases and I just wanted some tips. I am assuming I will need to get some fan power strips to help with it, but let me know what you think.

 

I was thinking since there are 24 fans, I should get something like this (http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-multi-fan-power-port.html)

the real answer..."Why not?"

The 780's came out and so many people wanted to sell their 680's for super cheap to pick up 780's. I was going to wait on the 880's to really upgrade anyways. I had 4x 480's before this.

I have 3x 1440p monitors and i'm going to be getting a 1080p projector, 1 display for each video card seemed like a good idea to spread out the load.

 

It's a combo of that and waiting for some video rending software to work with more than 1 GPU to improve rendering times.(still totally confused as to why this hasn't happened already)

 

Thanks for the help, getting some of those grids would be a good idea, but routing the cables or hiding them would still be somewhat of an issue. That's a lot of cables regardless.
