Rate the Wire Management Above You!

Re: Rate the Wiremanagement above you!

Sometimes the motherboard tray have pre cut holes. If not, you would usually use a jigsaw or dremel to cut them. It wouldn't damage the tray, if done correctly.

If you really have bad wire management, the wires will be in the way of the airflow. Think of it this way. You'd run faster through a plain, instead of running through a jungle.

I didn't even use either. I drill a 3/8" Drill to ram holes in then bought a $10 nibbler and went to town. Sure it took longer and hirt more but when it's all you've got.....
DawnofDoom - looks good from what we can tell. Zipties are a man's best friend too, get those pics up!

Looks nice man. Did you do any cutting or just re-routing wires?

Re: Rate the Wiremanagement above you!

i removed the mobo and put all the wires so they go underneath the mobo not over the top, tied all stray wires behind the drive cage so they're hidden, unfortunately i cant reverse my HD so the SATA cables will always be there

SATA is very neat and tidy, rounded IDE cables are an option though
