ok i would like to get my case to have minimalistic wireing... now possibly the biggest thing i want to do is to not bucher anything for example i do not want to remove the extra leeds from my power supply.

now here are the wires i have to hide.

1 ide cable (for cdrom drive)
1 sata cable
1 audio (cd drive to sound card)
mother board cable with 20-24 pin adaptor
4 pin mother board cable.
usb cable (for front usb)
firewire cable (for front firewire)
audio cable (for front audio ports)
2 extra 4 pin moltex leeds from psu
leeds for cold cathodes.
all the power cables that hang out at the top of my case.

im already using a lot of the back of my case to hide wires but it still looks bad help me hide them


now the reason i want to hide thease is i would like to show my case in a magazine and i dont think they will choose my case if i have wires everyware

and 2 i would like to have my case look clean and minimalistic inside so i cab be prowd of my case.

The best thing to do is route things behind the motherboard tray, drill the odd hole or two for the cables to come back out if need-be :)

I believe we have the same case zero. So heres some pictures of mine.

For me this would be considered somewhat messy. still havent got around to finishing the wires 100%

One of my current favorite things to do is to shorten the ATX cord and 12v cable. My newest case doesn't have space behind the board, and with the cord behind the board the panel bulges, and since the side panel is facing me, the bulge got on my nerves. I also cut off a few wires that I never use, like the server power connector.

I like to hide as many small cables as i can between the mobo and the tray. I usually fit the fans and any other cables that connect to the mobo, like power, leds etc then place the mobo on top. Ribon cables can be really good for hiding away. Much easier than rounded IDE cables IMO.
