i never did slice mine out of all the tiny cuts i did on all 3 IDE cables. I just made a little cut about an inch long between every cord then pulled it apart with my hands and it then tapped them into a round cord. Safeway says just buy rounded but I say save 20 bucks. Money spent to make your computer look good is pointless spend your money on performance

Some of these are really nice. Maybe I should post pics of my Lian-Li PC75B, which is the best case of all time.

This is my rig. I tried to tuck the wires as much as possible, but with all the Asus accesories is really hard to get a clean look. Anyway, I have good airflow and it's very easy to work.

I have an Enermax Fan Controller. 4 Way with 4 temp sensors. Where should i put all those cables.

When i get my new OCZ Powerstream 520Watt, DVD-ROM, and CPU Rheobus then i will clean up the old case. Right now i didn't even bother to screw the PSU in, because im only waiting for my new one.

Even if I am switching stuff out regularly, I still take the time to make it look as neat as possible inside, without going out of control.

Anyways I do understand you though, I am like that with other things, but anal about my PC.

Right now the wiring in my PC is haphazard, with my system installed however it would go, because I'm using my generic PSU right now while I wait for my Enermax to arrive. When the Enermax comes, I'll sleeve the other half of the cables (Enermax? why sleeve only part of the cables??) or at least, I'll try to...we'll see how long my patience lasts. I'm thinking about doing it at work, since work isn't very busy right now.

Damn. That is beautiful. I actually had the exact same idea (tucking all the wires behind the mobo tray) this morning during my commute to work.

As soon as I get my PSU via FedEx today, I'm going to try that with my new system. Unfortunately, I don't have the sexy watercooling rig.

Two of my computers are somewhat cleanly wired. They're not perfect, but I didn't tuck anything behind the motherboard or mobo tray, and I didn't use tape or ties. The wires are all stuffed in drive bays.

They're nothing compared to that WC'ed system above...

damn thats one sexy pc. id like to know how much he paid for the water cooler, where he bought it, and what the brand is. also im kind of wondering if when i build my new system this month if all the cables will be long enough to hide. also he must have went for the all out water cooling, i see cpu waterblock,chipset cooler, hard drive, and i think vga also

Just finished my new rig last night.

Took some inspiration from the first PC posted in this thread:

huge, but it fits nicely, and my temps are benefiting (cpu & mobo)

with 2 intake 80mm and one exhaust 80mm (excluding psu), my temps are:

cpu idle: 35C
cpu load: 41C

mobo idle: 29C
mobo load: 31C
