How's my cable management?

[zantaff]

Hey guys, this is my first time building a case from scratch, and I was wondering how my cables looked.
Good, bad? Did I do anything stupid?

Also, my 8-pin EATX, cable was a bit short, so it's in there really tight. Is this going to become a problem?

Thanks.

I can Hardly see any Cables from front view.
Very Nice....

And I guess you'll not be able to see any Wire, when you'll put in the Parts

Didn't your mom tell you.?..it's never nice to show off.

Pertty good, don't think you could get it any cleaner looking unless you got a case with more cable management features or sleeved the cables yourself.

If possible reduce the strain on the cable. If its really tight, it can gradually pull the connection off of the board or the PSU. You could get an extension cable to fix the problem.

Thanks guys! I was worried I had done something stupid and just overlooked it >_<

Something else I noticed was that the 8pin is covering the cpu fan headers. I /think/ I can get around it, but I'll look into getting an extension!

Not bad for a first build, well done
for the 8pin, try dremelling out a suitable sized hole in the mobo tray, the cable goes out the rear with the rest the up to the back of the mobo where you plug it in, nice and neat like,
**Edit, to give you an idea of what I meant, the 8pin on my rig, the rest is hidden by my mobo backplate but it goes to the Psu as I mentioned before

or place the 8 pin under your motherboard, anyway excellent management

Really good cable management considering the not-so-roomy interior of the case

Cable management looks really good, good job.

Another note though, do you have a front fan blowing onto those hard drives? If not, I'd put one in if possible. If they are all 7200RPM drives, they can get hot if you have a group of them all together like that (especially if you RAID them). Hard drives can be temperamental as it is so don't let heat become another problem if you can help it.

You have drawn the ire of one of the most cable managey people on this forum Stuart, expect to be hounded until every wire is hidden and what can be seen sleeved in chameleon skin

 

[Guest]

that's not dust, that's . . . character

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Nah, not ire, just helpful friendly 'end of a swordpoint' advice
but if you have a link for the chameleon sleeving I'm in
