Mods:
Attempted cable management. Front panel cables were able to be looped behind the side panel. Removed lower hard drive bay to give better airflow. Cut a hole in the remaining bay to route wires through. Removed side ducting and replaced with an 80mm exhaust fan. The side duct ended up being 70mm, so I had to drill some holes into some Plexiglas. Pic 10 was what I had, Pic 11 is the Plexiglas, and Pic 12 is the finished product.

I'm aware that the cable management is pretty choppy. Hoping to get tips on it. I'm also aware that having 3 sticks of RAM means I'm not running dual channel; but, I have a socket 754 system, which doesn't support dual channel. Therefore, I maximized my RAM for the price.

Um sorry if this offends you but. What cable management? It looks very messy. Fairly old PC IMHO, reckon you should get rid of the slot blower as its doing nothing. Its just preventing airflow to the fan on the VF900CU.
