I've got a Thermaltake Chaser A21 and I've recently been told by a friend that my cable management is "disgusting", so I decided to have a look at what I can do with it but I'm completely clueless. There are no holes inside the case through to the back, as far as I can see so I don't know how else to route them.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Good thinking, I'm going to have a play around with it soon, so I'll see what works.
