Cable job in Chieftec Dragon tower awhile back

My customer, Ralf Hutter who reviews for silentpc-review, performs the cleanest & most air flow efficiant cable jobs I've seen yet.

Thats some pretty damn good cable management right there!
I must say until I go completely over to sata I prefer ribbon over anything else.
I find it much easier to make it do what I want it to and it's easier to stealth.

Yes, ribbon sill has some advantages doesn't it Paul.

Antec is now including holes and cable ties for cable management in their cases, check out the review of the P180 Mini we did, it's the latest blog entry, casemodblog.com

Very nice cable jobs on those cases there. I am to the point in my case that just to get all the stuff back in I have to be rather fancy with all my wires. This is of course due to the fact that I have a fairly large video card and 9 hard drives in an old midtower atx case. I of course keep the wiring all as clean and out of the way as I possibly can, but there comes a point when the case gets so full that good cable management is really just getting everything hooked up without having a crow's nest of wires.

I was always taught not to bend cables more than 90 degrees or fold them on themselves, don't that reduce their efficiency.

Nice video. I've really got to do some cable management myself... I guess it can wait for my WC and AM2 upgrade a few months down the road. Thanks for the vid.

A little late here, but here is my latest build using just what was included with the case. No modding on this Antec P182

Intel E8400
Asus P5Q-E
2x2gb G.Skill
Corsair 520W PSU
nVidia 6800GS(Yeah, from my old rig, I ran out of money)
WD 640GB
Samsung DVD-Rom(Sata)

Wheres the cables?! ....lol awesome cable job bob!

Fatsobob · 26-July-08, 11:27 AM

Thankfully Antec understands cable management and provides the right designs to make clean builds. Most of the cables route behind the motherboard tray.

Yes, I've noticed they now include cable ties in their new cases and implement recessed areas in the design when they can.
