About all of your cables will fit behind the notherboard tray.

Typically try to run all of my cables under the motherboard tray or strapped to the drive cages with zip ties. take the sides off of your case and have and try running the cables behind the M/B tray, only brining them back in where they are needed. Zip ties and hot melt glue are your friends in this endeavour.

I just use a ton of zipties to guide the cables where I want them to. Zipties ftw.

See those grommets on the motherboard tray? Pop off the back panel, and use those to route your cables to the back, and then out to the equipment using the closest grommet. That will keep the rat's nest out of sight, and while you're rerouting, you can neaten up the bundle and secure it down with ratbelts to make sure it remains flat and nothing gets pinched.

Saberus :

you mean the big gourmets in the case leading to the back?

Chaingunchris · Jul 9, 2015

also, is there a way i could store my ssd in the back so i could get rid of a hdd cage? with the C70 from corsair?

bazzarooney · Jul 9, 2015

You can mount your SSD with double sided tape or velcro, no moving parts so no need to worry about vibration.

Saberus · Jul 9, 2015

There might even be mounting sleds on the back of the motherboard tray.

Chaingunchris · Jul 9, 2015

bazzarooney :

what if the tape dosent stick, the ssd is gonna come flying down

Chaingunchris · Jul 9, 2015

Saberus :

thats what i was thinking, maybe. but i dont know.

Saberus · Jul 9, 2015

Chaingunchris :

Then tape it down low on the mobo tray, less fall less shock. But with no moving parts, an SSD can handle a much harder bang than a spinning drive.

bazzarooney · Jul 9, 2015

If you're worried about the tape not sticking, head to an auto parts shop and buy some 3M trim tape, this is what the use to stick badges and visors on to cars with. Ask the guys at the counter, he'll know what you're looking for.

maybe i should just replace my case, theres the thermaltake v71. it looks good, it can have up to 4 200mm fans. thats nice, but i just got into this case less than a month ago

Saberus · Jul 9, 2015

Chaingunchris :

No need to replace your case, just take some time and care to redo your wiring and you'll have a great looking machine with really good airflow.

Saberus :

ok, well give me some stuff to do now, i don't have the time now but ill get to it this saturday which for me is like in 2 days

Chaingunchris · Jul 9, 2015

Saberus :

like you saw the picture of my case now, right? xD. is it realy possible to fix that mess?

Zerk2012 · Jul 9, 2015

Chaingunchris :

Did you not look at my C70 case and my power supply is not modular so I have all the cables to hide.
Do you a couple of Google PC cable management youtube searches and watch a few videos.

that cant be a non modular psu : /, I also have been watching some youtube videos about it. its not that hard. i Can do it

shoe59 · Jul 9, 2015

Chaingunchris :

Sure it is.

Every cable coming out of the power supply should be routed through the grommet right there by it, to the backside of the case.

If you think you're going to have trouble remembering where to plug everything in -- put little tags on each cable to label where it was connected.
