basically i have a P5QL PRO board and a budget case and wanted to tidy up my case so any ideas on how to get it done neatly? I tried it once and because my board's ATX connector is located next to my cpu socket made it how to do and also i got a image of my current build and a better view of it at daytime before i install my CNPS9700 LED, which is ages ago also sorry for the bad image quality i took it with my phone.

here's a few basic tips:
-use zip ties or tape (preferably zip ties) to keep your wires together -sleeve your cables -stuff them wherever they can't be seen, behind the motherboard tray, beside the drives or in drive bays -run wires that go to the motherboard under the motherboard ![]() This is mine, not perfect but it doesn't restrict the airflow nearly as much as yours will. Notice how the usb, power button and 4 pin motherboard wires come from behind the motherboard? it's a great way to reduce clutter.

Thank you 4 helping, but my motherboard ATX connector is located between the cpu socket and graphic card which made it hard to do is there any other way to do it?

if the only wire going across your motherboard is your ATX connector that's alright. Just make sure you clean up the rest of those wires, and post a picture when your done!

Well it looks like your PSU is top mounted and if it is just run the Power cable behind the motherboard tray and then come up and hook it in from the back. And it should look more like his.

Have you got a piece of cutting equipment?
__________________Dremel, Jigsaw, Holesaw etc. If so, cut some holes either behind the mobo tray, or just nest to it, therefore you can feed them through behing the side panel ![]() Works like a charm Slim123

Sleeve the main power cable then clean the rest up the cables for your front USB and the power buttone I would see if you cant run them down behind the drive cage and have them come out on the other side then they can run along the bottom edge and then plug in like these in mine none of the cables go through the motherboard tray. Sleeving will make everything look that much neater

OMG SPAGHETTI!!!
You may want to drill some holes in back plate that motherboard attaches too. I did not see any holes. The cables run BEHIND the plate and then back into main area. Take your time! you need to sort them out.
