The Antec 300/900/1200 Owners Thread

[The Jinx]

I have a question regarding cable management. I have the antec 900 and i managed to get most of the cables out of the way through the stock holes, i am trying my best to close the other side of the case but there is not enough clearance. I have a Corsair 750tx psu so it comes with ample amount of wires. While i see many people running their wires to the back of the case i was just wondering how do you manage to get the other side of the case closed.

Hiy Jinx,

Well I used all the cable ties that Antec included plus some garbage bag twister to keep it all bunched up. When I pulled the cables I was going to be using through the 1st tray slot I tied off what I could and the extra length other than what was needed to plug into the hdd/mobo I taped down to the backside of the mobo tray. I was able to close the side w/out any bulges. Just make sure to stretch out the cables so they don't bunch up on the back side.

Then I taped/tied what extra lengths weren't needed and did more tying. I didn't really want to do more work on this build cause I wanted it up and running asap. But there are some great mods here, do a search and I am sure you'll find lots of ideas. Most of them include some metal cutting so if you are a handy type of guy it won't be a problem.

Oh ya, welcome to the 900 Club

Thanks for the warm welcome..

I have got a few ideas for some cable hiding thanks!

But what I was trying to say was how you hid the cables at the top (under the plastic cover), so how do you direct the cables to the back of the cover? (so that they are between the chassis and the back plate) Sorry for my bad english..

I love my Antec 1200 it has tons of space inside. I can't wait for my GTX 260 216 to arrive today so I can start up this core i7 build. I've been searching around for some cable management ideas, but so far tjharlow's video on youtube has been most beneficial.
