Cable management

[Maist]

Hi guys, 

I've finished my new build, and although i think i did quite a good good managing the cables, there are still couple of things which bother me.

 

1. Is it possible to do something about the PSU cables? 

2. Is it possible to do something about the cpu cooler cables?

The cable on the cooler idk what you could do but for the PSU you could get some cardboard/card and cut and bend it so it covers the cables then paint it black and put it in the case

Good idea.

Do you have any pictures of this?

No, its just something I came up with on the spot

If your good with metal or wood you can make a PSU shroud and screw it into place. Acrylic also works well for this. As for the cooler cables, try run them to the top of the board and out the bottom.

Maybe get a sheet of metal, bend it and attach it to the PSU (remember to paint it black)

Not sure about the cooler cable.

 

For the PSU you can google "psu cover" you'll find post explaining how some users did it.

 

some were able to get amazing results like this;

Are PSU cables visible from case window without you actually looking for them?

 

As for fan cable, if it has some loose, you can route it to go under GPU.
