what wire layout is better?

[my-name-here]

was doing some things to my computer and decided to re-arrange wires wile i had it open, can't decide which way is better. i wanted to have a lot of exposed wire on the bottom but i just couldn't get it to how i was envisioning it.... i can't decide if i like it better this way, or the previous, or maybe i should do something else?

any suggestion? (ignore the wires coming out of the optical bay on the very top. they are only there temporarily until the new fan controller gets here friday. they will be completely hidden so it looks like no wires are coming out of the optical bay area at all.)

First one.

the first one looks tidy.

Also, I think you just wanted to show off your rig some more

The PSU wires are more tidy in the first picture but the second has better organization overall.

Plus I like the way the wires flow in the second picture - shows off the goods.

haha, yeah.... i do like to show it off =p

it made me sad when i replaced the side window with mesh and a fan, now i can't stare into for hours on end.

but really, i can't find a way to put the wires that makes me happy... it's driving me mad.

i think i like the 24pin power like that but if it stays i need to make the 8pin power longer. i'm not happy with the video cords in either position really, so i dunno what to do about that...

1st one fore sure. Good job on both either way, but the 1st one looks cleaner.

The second one isn't as good looking IMO

#1 for sure.

 

[blaze15301]

the first one defiantly.

The one where you're using a Corsair PSU

Seriously though, the only thing I like better about the second one is the GPU cable layout. I'd do the GPU cables from #2 with the rest of the cables like #1.

Get a smaller case. You have way too much extra space.

First one looks better, neither is bad.

I like the first one, mate!

going to be doing water cooling in the future, there is extra space because i crammed everything away to make room.

I think the first looks better, but I kind of like the wave of the ATX cable in the second. Adds some personality.
