I've found by turning over the PSU I could get the wires closer the mobo plate, which made it easier to organize the wires. This worked for my PCP&C PSU because it doesn't have fans or air vents on the top or bottom, but if you have vents on the bottom it might not be a good idea.

EDIT: Just noticed the PSU box in the background (and in your sig), same PSU as mine, so you should be able to flip it over. Also, with that PSU it is difficult to mount the bottom fan, I have to literally cut off one corner of the fan mount.

I bought this case not knowing much about it. Just looked good for cooling.....I definitely made the right decision. This case rocks! I haven't done any real mods yet. Just added some fans. I'll snap a pic when I get home. I'm planning on doing some mods but nothing big. I love this case. Great airflow.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely do that, this power supply has an insane amount of cables on it. I RMA'd the motherboard in the picture there and I'm going to order a DFI DK X38 mobo.

I'm also having bad paint flaking on the inside of the case. I used Krylon and i'm not happy with it. Is there any other spraypaint that could fix this issue? I was thinking maybe RustOleum?

I don't know much about painting, what about primering first (or is that only with cars?), then maybe a clear coat after the paint?

It looks like you could have mounted the fans and radiator below the top, and left the top grill (arguably the cases most attractive feature) on.

If so, did you consider it?

About the paint... Make sure the case is clean and test an area. If the paint covers well then paint the entire thing, if not, prime it first.

I always put a coat of primer down whenever I paint any kind of metal. But thats just me and my OCD!!

Like the paint under the mesh...Looks familiar huh?????...LOL!

Yeah I agree.
I did primer, the used a Epoxy spray paint, the sticky stuff!
It actually worked very well, and the only chipping that has happend is around where the door slides to seal, which you can never see.
But clear coat would probably stop that from happening..
