Thanks for the suggestion but, my wires are to short but more cable ties goes a long way.
Do you have any ideas where I can move though.

wire management is atrocious. hardware us decent, especially for sa. just man..get some zipties or something and move them wires around. the wires may be short but you can move them around a bit.

You know, your a real asshole, this is a case mod gallery not a hardware gallery, so you need to take back your vote unless you really think this case is worthless, its a nice case, i would have given you a 5 for the cables being tangled but i gave you a 10 because of this asshole
Thank you I totally agree with you....
Thats why the title link says CASE MOD GALLERY.
Klaar punt. (Thats in afrikaans btw)

A very old and weak rig indeed, but I like the style 8/10.

7 from me :)

Maybe if you get a new psu you could fix up that tangled mess
but if it doesnt bother you you don see it anyway :)

maybe something to think about when you upgrade/get a new pc ;)

I am going to wait for while until the new Amd cpu comes out with integrated Gpu, but then I will go full out on it. It will cost me a arm and a leg. And will use my Celeron for side projetcs and stuff.

The case gallery is not for flame wars and personal vendettas. The next person to continue this pointless spat will receive a temp ban.

Towly would you like me to delete the offensive posts in order to help get a CONSTRUCTIVE discussion of your computer going again? Since you did the right thing and remained uninvolved in Goober's and Aximbigfan's little battle, it seems unfair to lock or otherwise modify your thread without your permission.

I have to agree about the wires, but I see you've tied some of them off. Some cases will let you route your wires behind the motherboard mount. That's why the right panel comes off. :P
Take off the right panel and see if there are any holes.
Typical hole locations are:
1: Right next to the power supply, obviously.
2: Behind the motherboard tray.
3: Below the motherboard (Sometimes)

In fact, here's a picture. Most of the clutter is from my Thermaltake Hardcano 9 which has six power connectors (two input, four output). Without that, it'd look a lot cleaner. Your power supply cables might not reach all the way around there, though. Some manufacturers prefer short cables over longer ones. My power supply (by CoolerMaster), obviously likes ridiculously long cables (note the shrink-wrapped motherboard connector).

Hmm.. It's a little hard to see the hole next to the hard drives. There are also a few small holes next to the front of the case. Just hunt them down and see if you can use them to your advantage. Good luck!

Wow a Zalman Cooler on a 6200 v.card. :)

I can see a lot of time and effort went into this case and seems you are finding it hard to find a 120mm tri-led fan over there then it must have been pretty difficult to even get what you have in there now.. Well done mate. Don't worry about what all these rich boys in America reckon...

8/10

Hi Fellow modders

I didn't had time to post new photos from the left side of the case.
But...
I will do it this weekend and it will be posted on monday with a your suggestions and will try and rearrange my cables.
Added some uv ccfl's so that my other ccfl is not so lonely anymore.
