[QUOTE=Cluckyx;16502403]I've never really bothered with my PC innards besides building it. Which isn't much. Put the stuff in the slots and the right plugs in the right place (Even fucked that up once, a few years ago I hooked a 400GB HDD up to SATA and Legacy power at the same time. Fuck).
So after doing this thread. I thought I'd have a little crack at cable management, tidy my shit up a bit. LOW AND BEHOLD. I've killed another drive. My 400GB Barracuda 7200, something burned at the logic board. No Idea why but I'm blaming you Facepunch AAAAAALL OF YOU.[/QUOTE]
We should have a disclaimer for these sorts of things.

Something like that?
lol.
I have no idea what fried the second drive. That cable didn't even get unplugged. I think it was just fate :frown:

So many power cords. The power supply is awesome though.[/QUOTE]
Reminds me of my own PSU :smug:
I tried some cable management recently.
and.. the antec 900 has one hole near the psu, and it's BEHIND it. why? now I can only fit a few cords through there because theres about 5mm of space. and even after that, theres the panel. took me 20 minutes to get it back on without even that many cables there.
I think the effort outweighs the benefits.
I would like to have a clean looking case though :(
You could always do what Zorlok did.

That hole is just bent out metal meant to hold in the PSU, it's not meant for cable management... although that's what I used it for anyways.
I think my cable management trumps zorlock's. You can't even see my power supply, it is so good.

That was from 5 months without dusting it out, I tried to improve the cable management but I really didn't do anything. My temperatures didn't change at all either.
I also just noticed that sound is only coming out of the left side... so I'm going to have to fix that.

How the fuckkkkk did you do that? Mines a mess (kinda)

Yours isn't too bad. Sure it could be neater, but it still looks better than some of the other cases that have been posted.
Do I win the award for worst cable management of the thread? :buddy:
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;16511954]Do I win the award for worst cable management of the thread? :buddy:[/QUOTE]
I doubt it...
I get the feeling that the PSU isn't installed at all... :raise:
And there's no heat sink.
And there's a forest gump tape on that book shelf thing in the background.
