So he's tucking everything behind the motherboard tray? Something tells me the right side of the case is slightly bulging.

Chris · 05-10-2008, 05:44 AM

I strategically bundled my wires in a similar way.. It's really not hard to achieve that if you spend a little bit of time doing it.

Behind the motherboard though? Meh.

That's pretty good. I've got my own wires and ide cables(who uses those anymore?) under the motherboard and helps out with airflow tremendously.

My only question is why would he go through all that trouble to make it look nice...without a window on the side to see how nice it looks. Waste of time!

Well, it should improve airflow through the case, meaning a cooler and quieter rig.

Why do people add music like that to videos like these. I couldn't hit mute fast enough. Anyways, nice and tidy.

Thats true but there are other options he could use that wouldn't have been as time consuming as putting it behind the motherboard tray and having to lengthen some wires. I just think since he went through all that trouble he could have just bought a window kit and threw it on there. Especially when he had a led fan in there. Just seems like some of it's going to waste. Suppose that could be his friends project to do.

this is common practice in my books. I have seen better though (use of modular power supplies and etc.)

everyone should be doing this.

Wires??

We don' need no stinking WIRES!

Clean wiring can have a big effect on airflow, post pics when you finish 7dust. They have a sticky at anantech on just this topic.
I don't have room for clutter in my latest box with all the tubing pumps and rads. I used an ATX case w/ a matx mobo to have more space.
