Its a Chieftech Dragon, I tucked most of the wires behind the mobo and ripped off the tubing that was on my power wires because it was so damn thick
 
see those thingys sitting on the floor, you usew them to attach the cd drive, it would be alot better than it just kinda hanging there like it is now :eek:
 
Not bad. Try repostiting the main atx cable. I do know this case isn't easy to hide wires in without moddifacation.
 
looks ok. wasnt there a thread already that was suppost to be for people like this that care how other people feel about there wiring
 
Yeah I do remember that thread, just could find it. The things that hold the CD drives in don't seem to work too well with the holes in that particular drive :mad:

LOL. I was hoping I wasn't the only one to notice that.

Obligitory pic I made in case you didn't know how...

Things I would do:

Put the case fan up front in the back. It's really not blowing on anything, with the mATX mobo and all.

Remove the un-used drive case, and the full-length PCI bracket (the funny looking purple thing hiding behind the drive cage)

Since you only have 2 drives, I would get some 3.5 to 5.25 adapters and put your CD-Rom and HD up top, so you can tuck more wires away... then you could also take out the other drive cage, too.
If you want to get a little more into it, put a hole behind the mobo and run the power/reset/etc switches through there, so the wires go under the mobo tray and are hidden behind it.

your case doesn't look bad, but then again you only have two drives. It gets much harder when you start getting more. :)
 
looks like he already knows how to slide in the drives. i dont think he needs a visual

...apparently he doesn't...

count the number of drives, and the number of drive rails on the bottom of the case... and realize that each optical drive should take two of those rails..

lol

anyways the cabling looks similar to mine. :D
 
should make the mobo power cable come from the top of the HSF, instead from across the front.
 
Should of gotten a smaller case since you have the mATX mobo. Otherwise looking good.
 
Okay Ive gotta flame you for a little bit. First off, put your drive rails on!!! Split loom is WAY TOO BIG for your p4's power cable. Your case would look neater with wire tires, or spiral wrap. But overall your case looks good, just needs some new wire management material, i would suggest starting over and sleaving the whole thing.
 
I wanna do a nice sleeve job one day when I have the extra cash. I moved the front fan to the back and I have much better temps. I kinda forgot to plug in the hsf power cable and let my little Duron sore to 80C :eek: , its still alive though.

As for the drive raily things, I worked them out. They go the other way round :rolleyes:

Thanks for the suggestions guys
