How do u guys hide the cables?
I'm thinking of re-doing my PC's cable management. Can some pros teach me how its done? I know cutting the aluminum and drilling might be needed.

A few cuts are required for good cable management. Usually all you will need is a cut in the divider to allow the cables to pass up the back of the mobo tray easier.
plus a couple of holes in the mb tray itself to allow the cables to pass through.
now I would take better photos but I am currently in the middle of a rebuild - but if you do a search I am sure you will find a few other examples of this being done. Good Luck
check out the link in my sig, there should be a few good pics in my build log. i'm gona try to update that this weekend with some new pics cause i've changed boards so new cable layout.
run stuff under the divider as much as possible. you can also run stuff under the motherboard.

The main cut is the first picture that has been shown above. Try to make it large enough for the 24pin ATX cable to fit through, you can EASILY do it with a dremel.
thats what i did
Pardon me though...
How do u guys cut that hole?
I used a dremelOriginally Posted by FrOzE
I'm going to emulate this Dark Water Project, nice alternative to cutting holes your case.
all you have to do is place the motherboard in the case, mark off where your cables will be, and offset them 1/2" to the inside of the motherboard so you can run them underneath the motherboard and out of sight, then cut with a dremel
This is what i did with my TJ-06 with a dremel:
The backside you dont see, lol:
