When I had the Kandalf case I dremelled two holes in the motherboard tray which worked a treat. Only problem with it was that I bought the black one which weighed a tonne wheras yours is mainly aluminium

I'm sorry to say that, but you should change your opinion about this case because it is easily moddable. No pun intended, bro.

Here is my Kandalf with my previous 4890 cards (Those two pci-e power cables are visible because i was too lazy to hide them when i took the photo)
I will take pics of the current setup later when i finish work:

Not to forget, that there are a lot of people out there haven't any experience with modding a tower, or in the worst case they will not even have any tools to do that.

To be honest, i do not really like the Kandalf. But sure you are right with the fact, taht modding will get it a lot better for cable managment. Did that to all my cases in the past! :)

Or in the other case they haven't enough time to mod a tower.
My current workstation...But I don't like this Case. It is to small :(
Maybe I will buy a Silverstone TJ09...

I've modded my kandalf yesterday. I've never modded a case before...
It doesn't look perfect but I think it looks a bit better than before. ;)

So with all the update,s heres a recent pic...

Basically got the frame powder coated along with the rear side panel...didnt come out too well, but it will do for now. It has a few blemishes here and there, but mainly on the rear side panel. some updated hardware as well and my new rams and PSU.

You just cannot imagine how easy it is to work with flat ribbon cables compared to the fat ones. This PSU is just awesome, quiet and takes a good amount of load.

@ gatecrasherlok

To make a hole in the motherboard tray was a good advice. Thanks.

So, the PSU comes with flat ribbon cables. Very cool. Maybe my next PSU.
