In a P180...

Is there any way of really hiding the power cord? Even with the 20>24 pin adapter that added 6 inches or so, there's still no way of routing it. The cable and antec thread don't really have any pics of this being accomplished. Possible with minimal modding?
 
Good cable managment in this case takes time, although you are bound to see some wires, most everything can be zip tied and tucked away.

I had my power cable run up the other side of the case at the rear of the drive cage.
 
oh noes! The power cable!

hehe... you should focus on air pathways and making sure there are no blockages...

you should be able to tuck the power cable to the right near the drive bays... and even some of it behind them.
 
but the whole bottom section where the psu is is completely shut off from the upper half with the exception of that small hole where it is meant to go to. I'd have to pop ir out of that hole, run it along the floor of the upper section, then somehow run it up behind the drive bays. All that and you would still be able to see it clearly sort of, and it would require one massively long psu cord
 
that is exactly what I do... you can see it a bit... but it is out of the way and not blocking airflow.

Do you have a window on your p180?

I don't... so I don't mind the cable showing a little bit... infact, it is not good to fold cables too much... esp. data cables... it fucks up the impedance.

I know the power cable is not a data cable... anyway, since there is no window, out of sight out of mind I guess.
