Cable Management Opinion ...

I decided to break open my budget case (it's a piece of well you know) and do some cable management.. I hate this case as it doesnt have any decent places to hide cables like a lot of the newer cases. I managed to get most of the PSU Cables behind the right panel and out of the general hardware area.. I'm still trying to decide what case I want to get.. I was looking at the Aerocool 3T Engine but then I hate it isn't toolless.. Nor do it have much look other then the 25CM fan on the side.. So any case ideas would be cool too.. Dont want nothing too expensive... Would like a built in fan controller, but then again I can always buy an addon.. Thats another question, if I buy a Fan Controller does it come with software that monitors the RPMs? I wouldn't mind a 3 Fan Controller with some 6000 RPM Tornado Fans that I can turn down to 3000 RPM when I'm just surfing and kick it up to 5K+ when I go online and play games.. Wouldnt hear it because I wear headsets when I'm in games..

Here's a photo on the management.. Opinions?

Considering what you had to work with, I'd say that this is a nice setup.

If you really wanted, you could un zip tie your sata cable and hide all of it under your mobo... Or get a shorter cable.

If you can, I'd sleeve the cables for your front connection switches and LED's.

I think that, without spending any money, you're as good as you're going to get.

There is no space under the Mobo, unless I unscrew that side and slide it under.. I wasn't sure if thats what people did when they hit stuff behind the Mobo.. I could see it if I had a Mobo Tray but I dont..
 
without modding, you have done well. one thing i would suggest is forming a duct out of fiberglass or something easy and routing all of the front panel connectors through it, and you wouldnt see those wires at all. Honestly though, great job!
