Install took about 4.5 hours from an Antec Sonata to this thing. Sheesh---wasn't easy but well worth it. I have since removed the drive trays from the center HDD rack to allow better airflow.

The wiring job was going great up until I added my SATA drives. The the "wheels came off" so to speak and now it just turned into a mediocre wiring job.


Enjoy--

Thanks for the compliment.

Mine is a PC Power and Cooling Turbo 510 Deluxe Express

Mine would have reached fine IF I wanted it to go underneath or on top of the motherboard. But, I opted for a stealth approach so I bought a 6" 4 pin to 8pin converter. And my mobo can accept either a 4pin or 8pin ATX 12v supply line.

I'm assuming the sleeved bundle in the bottom right is your SATA cable... in that case I agree that ruined the job http://hardforum.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

You could probably get shorter SATA cables though, couldn't you?

EDIT: I thought it was a good job overall, regardless of the dang SATA cables http://hardforum.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Yeah, that bundle is the SATA cables and the cables coming from the PSU.
