Thread Starter 


Any advice for cable management or ideas for my build. Also do you think I should upgrade to a full tower case?

Run more of the cables behind the motherboard tray.

waht case is that? does it not have openings to route the cables behind the motherboard tray? if not then I would buy a case that has cable managment. but for now you should put all the cables together with zip ties so that you can get better airflow and make it look better.
here is my case which has cable managment as you can see how all my cables route through openings and are back behind the back panel.

I would have to agree with RX7, try to route most of the cables behind the motherboard. Your build will look cosmetically nicer and will allow more air flow through out your case.

Good Luck thumb.gif

That case is a Cooler Master Stoem Enforcer. It has cable management. Very good actually. He just needs to put some effort into it.

They're there. Hard to see with the black on black, but still visible. I used to know what case that is, but I'm certain that it has cutouts. I have to imagine those come before tool-less bays.
