Post your "rate my cables" here

[Mehphisto]

how do we rate cables if we can't see them?

Go easy on me... This is my first time trying to tidy cables, and to boot its all stuffed inside a Cooler Master Elite 110.

First assembled;

After cable management;

I kind of wish I had gone with a Corsair 250D.. I might upgrade to that when I build my HTPC (currently using my old Q8200/CM Elite 690 box for that) and put it inside this with a smaller PSU and no GPU.

Nice when you can shove all the cables in the back

Alright you bunch of jerks, you make me go out and buy cable combs like an idiot. Fine! Here's my before and after:

Quick photo of my almost finished workstation. Obviously there are a lot more visible cables than most of the builds here, but keep in mind 1) this is a server case without any room behind/below the motherboard tray or any other cable management features 2) the amount of hardware in this system (4x BD-ROM, 8x HDD, 2x SSD). I plan to post more pics - this was the most challenging build I've done by far. Took about 2 full days to get everything in and looking this good.

To EnderW :

Nice work, despite the case

 

[Syribo]

Took my PC outside the other day, disconnected every single cable, and re-did them all, along with cleaning out dust! I still don't know how you guys make the backs of your cases look so good with all the wires back there lol.. No matter how hard I try to make it look neat back there, it looks awful.

I still wish there was a better way to do the GPU's power cables... They look awful no matter where I route them ugh.

Hi
Did You try to put the ATX 24 cable through the first hole from the top ?
And, for the PCI-E cable, through the second hole from the top ?
I htink it's better when cables go "down" to the connector.

Ohh ya know, that actually WOULD probably look better haha. I'll try that

System specs are in sig. All 3 x internal hard drives are mounted behind the mobo tray to keep the 'front' side clean. Future plans include ditching the 2 x yellow fans and replacing them with red LED models identical to the upper rear exhaust fan

I will NOT show you the back side of the mobo tray. You DONT wanna see back there...

 

[mutti_wilson]

Just got my cable extensions stitched and the new build is complete.....for now. Probably going to sleeve the various other cables in the future. Build is in my sig.

Got a new home for my shiny 980 Ti, the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.

My dad's new computer. No cable management in the case and a non-modular PSU makes life challenging. He has to get an adapter for his SSD.

Try buying self-adhesive cable tie mounts and cable clips.

Just upgraded from the original Antec P180 that I've had for the last 10 years to a Fractal Define R5, heres the before:

Is that Hyper212 pulling against the exhaust fan?

No its pushing towards the exhaust.

Try buying self-adhesive cable tie mounts and cable clips.

Or get a dremel and do some cable management holes if the space behind the motherboard tray allows for it.

 

[Nobu]

Red's not my favorite, but it looks really nice. Good job.

 

[kjeldoran]

Went back to a desktop yesterday and finished building it. Here are my cables. Could do better with the front fan cables, but I ran out of zip ties.

 

[Kavika41]

Ralphort, that's very well thought out with nice attention to detail! I wish my build looked that nice (just got my first computer than a friend helped put together). Next one will employ some ideas you've given me!

 

[Kavika41]

This newbie's first computer ... ever. Better late than never. I love the room Corsair's 650D has for cable management. More to come when money does.

Looks nice. Clean and simple. Kind of like mine but I have way too many drives and stuff to look that clean.

Thanks! Yeah, I've got some external drives and storage and haven't utilized all that expansive space in the 650D case. Going to give those items to my girlfriend and stealth-in a drive to keep the clean, classy, flush look, not to mention USE some of that empty space. At least there's plenty of room for major upgrades in the future!

I don't have the 120 hanging off it anymore.

I'm jealous of the cable management in pretty much all of the systems. I used to have this setup in a Centurion 590 case. Space galore and able to hide most of the wires.

 

[rflcptr]

What do you think of my effort?

Why are the terminals zip tied?

 

[rflcptr]

Just finished part of our plant's DCS effort (only 8 more cabinets to go!):

Field I/O terminations:

About 1/2 of the unit's MCR:

Debugging run:

All wiring is cut to length and crimped.

 

[KazeoHin]

Dang! I don't know what I'm looking at, but I can see the effort and precision!

 

[w1retap]

Looks good.. we need you to come wire our DCS PLC's. The union craft we hire makes it look like the flying spaghetti monster.

 

[Nobu]

Why are the terminals zip tied?

They look like 6+2 connectors, probably zip tied just in case(tm).

 

[rflcptr]

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you too. I'm wiring these things at the moment since we're short on instrumentation techs. Design/programming is where I usually sit.

I understand now

 

[N1GHTRA1N]

No where near as good as most of these but I just got a new PSU. I have too much stuff in my case and not enough patience to make super neat. I do have good air flow though.

When I do a major system upgrade and replace MB/CPU/RAM I'll try to do a better job with cables. The new 8pin CPU cable is too big to hide when I used to (between RAM and CPU under video cards). That's my biggest complaint.

 

[T-ReV7]

With 4 Noctua fans you are bound to have good airflow
