Decent job, done okay, but just with the wires, dont let them be so loose in terms of cable management.

Wires Wires Wires, As long as there computers there's going to be Wires, I'm really getting tired of ppl getting downed for a decent Wire management. I mean The wire management on this system is not that bad for someone to say something about it. Sure it's not perfect but you can look at it and see time was taken.I LOL when the ppl saying bad things about wire management have bad wire management them selfs, and for that I'm giving this dude a 10/10.

9/10

wires wires wires yes!!! is important to do a cable management!,

If most ppl dont know cable management is a important thing, its really easy put a mobo inside a case and came here saying LOOK AT MY CASE!!!!! and obviously we enter and saw many wires around the system and try to imagine if one wire drop inside a cooler try to imagine what kind of thing could happen with u marvelous rig and a case moder ( a experient case moder) spent more 1 hour or day to this cable management and put here descent snaps, dosent matter if the cable management was incorrect here, we can help the future case modder giving them a example of job and hobby whe do.

and i give 9 because its strange to see many stickers in a cpu cooler and i like stickers but in a correct place.

see and vote in my case http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1034.html

Neo I already rated your case a 10 Thanks for comments, only thing really is I got lazy near the bottom the SATA's werent co-operating so i was just liek F*** It I wanna get this done lol. Anywho that p4 cable is a biatch theres nothing to tie it too and its on a weird spot on mobo to do any kind of hiding otherwise I would of. Oh and stickers, I put em there cuz I didnt want them on my case, I like how case looks without stickers!

i Saw that u SATA cables arent co-operate with u, but tell me how long the cables are like 45 cm, 60 cm? i use in my rig 45 cm Sata and i unidifie all with a nylon belt if u look closer u can see them

but now i fix the problem with my hard driver and the apearance change i will snap a closer for sata cables and i will send u

You really are cranky when you're tired, maybe you should go to bed.

As for the whole cable management malarkey, I'm in total agreement with TK and Neohazard. It really is important, not just for air flow, but for aesthetically value. Especially if you're going to be showing your rig off in a open voting arena. You're asking for people's critique, if you can't handle that then don't post. People wouldn't be stating things like Cable management if they didn't find it important. I wouldn't (and won't be just yet) upload(ing) my rig for mainly this reason (and the fact I don't have a digital camera).

I've voted 6/10 as it looks good, I like the colour scheme of the case, few things mark it down, such as the stickers on the heatsink and the cable management. I'm not really one for large ATX cases, especially when they're rather empty, but that would change over time I expect. I'm really harsh on my critique, but that's just how I am, I'm honest.

The components on the other hand are excellent, which is where most of your score from me comes from. ^^

Innocent, I agree there are areas to improve but you cannot say that the wires how they are affect airflow what so ever in my case, only cables you can basically actually see are at the bottom touching the bottom, but I could to better with the wires in the bottom, if I took an extra maybe 30 mins or so, which I did not have just needed to get it done at the time. Neo: My sata cables are same size, the one for DVD drive though is to short for making it go behind the mobo, if i just went straight to mobo there wouldn't have been a problem but i tried to hide it and it just was not long enough for that, the harddrive one is fine and the e-sata one worked the best as it was really long and it came up from under and plugged in without needing to be rotated, so it looks great, the other two on the other hand had to be spun around so the cord is curled. anywho I got the 5-led laser light in now ended up attaching it to harddrive cage just outta sight, window stops right before it and it shines up the etched words on window nicely.

I didn't once say the way you have your cables are affecting the air-flow in your case, they do have a slight impact in most cases (no pun intended) but for me it was mainly the aesthetics of the whole thing. You've got a good set up, but the downfall (and my harsh critique) was the fact you haven't, or from what you've said, didn't have enough time to put the effort into routing them and making them tidier. Improving upon the whole look.

I like tidy, neat boxes, sorry if my comments burn.
