Hi.
![]() Clearly it will be difficult... (I really did not just say that did I )...One of the things you could try would be to make a nice presentation of what you can not hide or secret away. Sleeving all wiring and cables really helps. Black sleeving has a way of sinking into the background, while flourescent or neon are just screaming for attention. If you were to sleeve all the wiring in black, and then try to run them in a "nervous system" manner it will look nicer and will be more manageable. ![]() If you are going to be using acrylic cases, you may wish to consider modular PSU's sometome in the future; they can make life so much easier, and the contention of their stability has been (for the most part) put to rest. ![]()

Not so much the cables as much as the inner workings of the puter. Besides that it is a step away from the normal bland looking PC box. and they look really cool with a few leds and the lights out. Agreed just gonna have to keep them on the straight and 90* side.

I have thought of taking the LONG way home and start cutting in on the PS and make them to exact fit, but the PS will be a one shot thing, warranty is out the window, but its a cheap one at that. I jsut don't want her to have to try and change a PS out lol
wireless molex connectors? WoW, that sounds like it might hurt if you get in the way of the arc haha

I suggest -
*Don't hide them - Sometimes wires that aren't hidden well look worse than if they were just there. Just buy some black cable braiding and heatshrink and get all cables to match the PSU cables.

Wiresleeving and bundling them together in organized "snakes" is the way to go.
Here's what I did in my clear case ![]()

You know what those cables aren't bad... Leave them out in the open just make sure they are organized and compact...
Don't want something resembling spaghetti all over the inside of your case... Unless you were Italian... ~B~
