Hows my cable management?

[Kukag]

Hey all so I literally just built my first nice gaming rig, and I spent about 3 hours last night, rewiring everything and making it as clean as I could. So please give me some feedback, constructive if possible =D

Sorry for the pic quality it was taken with my Evo 4G. Overall I think it turned out fairly well, I was very limited on resources such as cables, and a non modular powersupply so hopefully with time and money it will only get better =D

Thanks for any input!
Sincerely,
George

Looks pretty nice man. I need to work on mine

 

[BoomerD]

Nicely done. Even the back side of yours is neater than mine...ESPECIALLY the back side.

 

[Kukag]

Thanks guys =D appreciate the comments, do you see anywhere I could improve? Also do you know any good tips or tricks to cable management? Lastly should I take off the dust filter on my exhaust fans?

Thanks,
Kukag

wow that looks good. is there any bulging when you put on the back side panel?


yeah I dont see a reason for filters on the exhaust fans.

 

[Kukag]

Absolutely no budging, all the cables are parallel with the back panel and flat against it, fortunately there is numerous places for cable ties and the case has a decent amount of room behind it. Hopefully I'll be able to sleeve the included wires to make it all black, and buy some sleeved cable extensions off someone on these forums to really make it look professional =D And thanks for the filter answer! Next time i open it up I'm gonna take it out!

Thanks man =D Hopefully one day I'll be able to replace the powersupply to get rid of any extra cables, and a new graphic card that has the connectors on the side not the front to make it look even cleaner!

looks good

I have used some flexible conduit(you can get it at home improvemnt and auto stores) to bundle groups together for a 'cleaner' look before.

Ahh yes a much cleaner and tougher look if you ask me =D I'll have to check that out, So far individually sleeved cables are my favorite but that definitely seems like a nice alternative. If you don't mind me asking about how much would you say it was to get enough to do your PC?

Thanks,

10 bucks maybe? I bought 2 rolls, a 1/2" and a 3/4" roll, from the hardware store. very cheap. add a 2 buck bag of small zip ties to secure it.

I love singlesleeved cables too but at 40+ to do my case...........meh :awe:

 

[Kukag]

Agreed, but if you do it for extensions you basically paid to have a set of sleeves so you can transfer them between cases, psu, etc =D

Oh well I'll look into it! Thanks for the pricing and what not!

Thanks man! Its the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced =D I absolutely love it and really if your in the market for a sub $100 case, go with it man! It has ever feature all the other ones do, its just big enough to fit i believe a little past 12" cards, watercooling is a breeze in it, its just an overall awesome ass case!

Thanks again for all the comments!
