Antec 900 Cable Management

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
Hello everybody. I need some pattern of how I will cut some circular and rectangle holes for my case. It has really bad cable management and I am stuck on how I would drill. Before I give you my idea I would like to know what inch hole saw I should buy. I have a semi modular PSU, but still many cables come with it and I want it to be organized as much as it can be.

I know my idea will be pretty bad as I do not know anything about cables that go into the motherboard and how they should be organized. I will draw out what I saw many other people have.

Please, if you can reply ASAP, as I am getting my new computer tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply man! I had a thought to do it like yours, but can you tell me why you put a hole near the PSU? And also, if you can remember, did you feed your PSU cables through the hole, then tape it on the case side? As for the yellow, what cables did you feed through there?

BTW.. did you use normal zip ties or nothing at all? I was thinking about getting some Velcro ones.

the hole next to psu is so i can run all the wires behind the back side of the case. they yellow cables are the sata cable, you may not need to do that bc as you can see the hard drives a reversed thats a whole another project! google it its called the antec 900 hd flip mod i believe.

no zip ties

i also modded the bottom where the psu sits for more flow.
