I like having my DVD burner in the top bay, I'd go all old man and get confused and scared if it wasn't in the top bay.

Yeesh, you're faster than I am in responding, getting in before the edit... well, I felt that way about mine, too, but given the height of the ATCS, it's not that much of a difference. In something like your 690, though, then I could see that, yeah. Why not just get a long SATA cable? Dirt cheap stuff.

That's on my list for when I actually start modding this case.
The only thing I've done is cut out the fan grills.
I've got to tell you that 840 is a pretty sick case. I've never even seen them before, what do they go for?

They're about $260 now on Newegg. Well worth it given how much more you have to pay for something on the same level from SS/LL. When I shut this off for the night, I'm gonna pull it out and re-do the SATA wiring because that's really what's tarnishing the interior image of the system. Then I'll get an updated pic for this page, then sleep, then post it.

Edit; yeah, getting tired. Gonna kill the system and redo the wiring + pic, and sleep. New post in the afternoon.

All right! Like I said I would have, here's the re-done wiring inside. I'm not too proud of being unable to push the wiring at the bottom upward, since the sleeving isn't that flexible, and because the power supply and SATA cables can't be moved much more. It's a pain because it's not like the HAF where there's a closed space around the tray with holes in it; it's completely open so it's quite a bit harder to truly hide everything. Just like with the top fans, the sheer size of the case works against cable management.

Now that's a little harsh, isn't it? If I had longer power and data cords you wouldn't be seeing close to that much.

I can see so many ways that the cables can easily be managed. Zip tie the cables behind the mobo tray for a start.
