The only advice I can give you when it comes to cable mgmt. is take your time and have some patience. I recommend using cable clamps found at wirecare, they are very inexpensive and really make it easier to hold down your cables. But the difficult thing about using them is you need to drill and tap a 6/32 hole so they can be mounted. You can find the drill and tap at Home Depot You can buy them in sets too, but if all you need is a 6/32 this is the cheapest way to go.Originally Posted by Paradoxxx
I've been having some troubles with my cable management. I'm planning to strip down the PC next month and I would like some recommendations as to how I can neaten this up.
Inside view of case:
Back of the case:
This can be very time consuming and labor intense as you will have to figure out where you will want to route the main cables..ie 24pin, 8pin, PCI-e cables....mark where you are going to mount a cable clamp with a silver Sharpe, then take all the components out of the case and then drill and tap for the cable clamps...then re-install all the components and route the cables that you have just drill for. Then you need to see where to route some of the other cables, trying to minimize crossover and entanglement. mark for holes, remove components, drill & tap and re-install components...this process may need to be repeated 3-4 times, (sometimes more) to get all the cables to look nice and to lay as flat as possible.
Hope this helps
