Tubing....?

[FoodStampz]

I'm debating if I want to use tubing around all the wires. I think it looks rather cool myself. What do you guys (and gals) think?

I think you need to work on hiding more cables first. For example if you spin the fan around that's on your h50, the power cable will be hidden behind the fan. The remaining cable that's left could work with the tubing. It gives it an industrial look and matches with your cooler tubing.

the ends need to be shrink-wrapped too

and... WTF is under your fan? masking tape!!!

Good lordie, okay... I like the ribbed tubing look to match the H50. But what case do we have to work with here? There's some non-modular inconvenience to bury away somewhere.

If done well it could look awesome, but as the other guys said you would have to tidy up the cables 1st

Double sided tape. It's there to hold the other fan in place. I was at the hardware store today and totally forgot to get 4 more screws for the other fan lol...

Not sure how to with this evil PSU. Too many bulky cables all over

Any chance of a new case? xD

Can you hide any cables behind the motherboard tray?

Maybe after I get my first paycheck from my new job lol

There is about 1/8 in between the mobo tray and side door. So some smaller cables can be hidden behind it but not the one i wish (mobo power)

Worked on it some more tonight. I think this is the best I will be able to get it without cutting the crap out of my case. Better than it was for sure!

I like.

I especially like the shrouding of the PCI-e cables which are usually very distracting from any cable management attempts.

The only ideas that pop to mind at the moment are if you feel like it, you could remove the motherboard screws on the right side and wedge the front-top panel cables and hopefully CPU power cable past the standoffs to sit behind the motherboard. And maybe put the bottom 3.5" HDD one slot up, then tuck squiggles of cables under it.
