How's my wire management? - Overclock.net

Boris4ka · 08-10-07

I can't figure a way to hide all the PSU wires so I just tied them together and let them sit next to the DVD drive. The second picture shows my main concern, the thick bunch of wires in the way of the front fans, anything I can do? the wires are too thick to bend out of the way. I've got 3 days till my CPU comes to get the wire management done. And I don't want to drill or cut anything. Please give me suggestions on what else I can improve, or is this the best I can get with a Centurion 5?

def not horrible 6/10 id say. the inside of that case looks kinda hard to do any extreme wire management with so it looks good to me. what case is that anyway?

You could move the hard drive up a slot and hide the bulk of that SATA cable underneath the drive...

*still thinking

You could clean up the PSU area (and maybe a little more) by using zip ties and self adhesive zip tie mounts... I found these mounts at Home Depot. In case you've never seen them before, here's some in action.

Yea there's no space behind the mobo tray, it's a mid tower. It's a Centurion 5.

Then the hard drive would block the front fan that's over there (you can't see it from the pics).

One of those came with the case, but I don't see where I could use it. The wires are all out of the way and still can't be hidden. Or do you mean to use it to get the top bunch of wires out of the way of the 2 front fans? That might work, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I'm not really worried about the SATA cable though, just about the bunch of cables on top.

I am getting the Centurion 5 soon. Great case, just be patient with wiring it and be careful and slow.
