Are your wires hanging out????

[L1qu1d]

How are the wires inside your case? Mine are a mess...sorta....I can't find a place for them. :S Any ideas?????

Side

HELP!!!! LOL hahah

 

[EXT64]

Yep, mine look like that too

On my next comp (my HTPC) I'm going to try some twist ties to see if I can't clean it up (it has clear sides, so I have to try).

 

[L1qu1d]

tried that. Doesn't seem to working for me

 

[EXT64]

Yeah, I know what you mean. There are just too many wires. I wish I had a picture of my comp (it is even worse than yours).

 

[L1qu1d]

LOL i'm always afraid that if a spark goes thats it...the wires are like tunnels to all my devices LMAO

 

[dokk2]

if consumer mobo's were designed like the servers that i used to work with,then the psu would be at the bottom with a hard wired connection to the mobo and the drive connectors would all stem from some sort of card or edge connector,the only fly in the ointment would be the video card and it's increasingly multiplying connectors/power needz...

 

[L1qu1d]

hahahahahaha

Email me some time and I will give you some pointers. I am an 'expert' in this area. After reading my instructional guide on wire management and 15 minutes solid concentrated effort and I can have your case looking nice and neat just like mine:

On My Next Machine (I Just Joined The U.S.A.F And My First Paycheck I Will Start The Build) It Will Have A Modded Mac G5 Case Im Going To Install The 750Watt PC Power&Cooling Power Supply, My 16GB SSD Boot Disk, 2x 10,000RPM Raptors And 4x Blu-Ray Burner At TheBottom of The Case Seperated From The Motherbard Area (The Motherboard Area Having A Window Only) So I Wont Have Any Wire Hiding Issues, As For The SATA Cables And Sutch They With Run Up Behind The Motherboard

Its very neat but I have 3 hds 1 floppy 2 Cd rom drives and a VU detector plus LED color switch
Plus the LCD poster, and the Zalman CPU fan Control Wire.
lol

 

[panicatak]

The spec has changed since then, but it is still as tidy.

I used to use a Silverstone eudemon but there were just too many wires!

You could cut/solder in extra wires to lengthen the wires in question so you can round them around the motherboard,etc. Or tape it with electrical tape to the bottom,etc of the case.

 

[L1qu1d]

i'm thinking about the Electrical tape lol I have some zip straps. hmmmm

 

[ALANMAN]

Noobs!
j/k

Ever heard of cable ties, or "zip" ties?
They look like this:

without them my case would not look this neat (pic is low quality, sorry)

This case was built for one of my "on line" friends. The person that put it together is truly talanted.
From start to finish. Step by step.

I took at look at that link you posted. WOW! That is BEYOND IMPRESSIVE! That gives me sooo many ideas for my current machine and future builds.

Question: When you lay down sound dampening foam do you have to file the sides of your case to make it stick better?

 

[MrMr]

No clue. I didn't build it and never tried sound dampening foam. May be some one here can answer that.
But I would assume so.

 

[EXT64]

MrMr, that setup is great! I love how the case exterior is just dull and black (no offense), but the interior is amazing! I always try to do that with my cases too. I'll have to try some of those cool things your guy did in my next build.

 

[MrMr]

Just to clarify. That's not my computer. I didn't build it. It was built by someone else for one of my on line friends.

 

[rwayne]

Yes, I am aware of that. I was hoping to pull off of your experience or someone else's experience to answer that question. Sorry for the confusion.

That guy is awesome. Do you have any more links for builds he did? Do you by chance know what kind of silent case fans he uses?

 

[MrMr]

No clue. But you can try to contact him through the forums.
