Default Stacker 830 Case Mod (Amateur)
So I decided to mod my case to hide the wires better in my 830. All in all I went through 3 mandrels and some cutting disks but it was worth it. The work is pretty sloppy but I got most the cords running through the back now and it looks 100X better.So here it is.

Not bad for a first try. I'd HIGHLY recommend putting some kind of rubber U-channel around those holes though. They look like they could slice through your cables at any moment.

good idea! putting them holes on the mobo tray. i have the stacker 832 and its pretty hard to do decent cable management lol.

Heres a tip for the fan door wires... theres a little hole near the top to the side of the PSU, try and put all connectors from the fan door through there. then u cant even see the wires from it. i did it on mine looked alot neater

I didnt even need the bottom big hole I thought I did at the time and there big because well I was sloppy lol. Yea the fan connectors are the one thing to make it a mess along with the short SLI power connectors.
