As quoted from my PimpRig Tips thread, it can be found stickied at the top of the Anything Goes Section.

You can also anchor your wires to the case by using longer twist-ties and looping the ties through a mounting hole inside your case. Here's a pic of my Short Circuit mod, as you can see ol' Short needs some touch-up.....




Hope that helps ya out =)

Sully' asked how to _hide_ the power wires J-dogg, not make an ugly mess of them

Sully - sleeving makes them look better, you could use spiral wrap of split loom instead ... as for hiding them, you just have to try & route them so the excess is hidden, usually between the motherboard tray & the side of the case, or between the side of the psu & the case side.

Which way up you put your psu can also make a big difference to the tidyness of the power looms.

I've also seen hard drives mounted backwards in their cages so the connectors are hidden (I think Clown did this).

Basically, it's hard work (or at least very time consuming) getting your wiring looking good, & the ideal solution is going to involve shortening and/or lengthening the wires. Take a look at http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread....threadid=12126 and http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread....threadid=12142 : I made no effort to hide the wires in that example, but it would have been just as easy to get the wires the right length to hide.

Great idea J-dogg but Jonny English was thinking the same i was "Hiding the Cords" i have gotten some twist rap from Radio Shack i am going to pick up some more.
Jonny i will take a look at mounting the HDD backwards but it may not work with my case.
which as soon as i get the cords looking neater i will post some pic of it.

Thanks for the idea's but i am still keeping my ears open for more idea's for my case alone if you like to see here is a link to where i got it http://colorcases.com/Cases/aluminiumblack.htm#

but i would like to get my 2 spare 120's in it if you have any idea's through to me thx
