I don't have a window on this case so it doesn't *really* matter, but i just wanted it clean so I had piece of mind. Yes I know the "Sleeving" job on my video card's cables looks like crap,... but hey, whatcha gonna do. All I used was a roll of a red duct tape lol.

hmmm its okay.. but yea that sleeving job is crap.. i think you'd be better off using plastic ties every 5 inches rather than that ugly red tape.

you fliped the harddrives to hide the wires, personaly it wouldn't matter which side its on unless you have a huge window. reversing the harddrives will probalby give u trouble upgrading or changing them.

i got taht 90 degree harddrive bay too in my case. although i'm using IDE ribbon cables, its a bitch to bend so im' stuck having it show :(
 
Well, I would definately use some other sleeving. I like how you turned the drives around to hide those wires better, good job there. But yea . . the red tape . . has to go. Also, the wires to the controls and LEDs on the front would look better bundled and routed a little different.

All in all your air flow in the case is fine, which puts it far above most others cases I see. In the appearance catagory I'll give it a 60 in the functionality I'll give it a 90.
 
Well, like I said, I have no window at all so I don't really care if it's fugly... airflow is what I'm goin for

edit: Also, I'm planning on upgrade to a PC-75 case, all rounded cables, a Modular Sleeved PSU, and all new fans when I upgrade my cooling so this is mainly just to get me by.
 
a lot better job than me. I have never been able to do a decent wire-job :p
 
i dont really believe he did so good... I 've seen much better jobs... But its better than before..! Its better than mine!
 
looks better, but not great. I would hide all the wires possible behind the mobo tray and drive racks. also the red electrical tape looks getto, but if you have no window and are just doing this for air flow then the tape will work just fine. If you ever put a window in it there then I would suggest putting some money down on some more wire sleeving.

JEEVES
 
It's good, for functionality, but not so much for appearance.
If you want i'll post my server wiring job when i get home from work...it's clean, you might get some ideas from it.
