Advice on cable managment.

[luciusad2004]

I did my best on setting this all up and i was wonder what you guys thought of it.

Before i show the pics i would like to mention that this is not going to stay like this. This is a temporary setup for my gf until we can get a power supply to put in her case.

My future plans are to cut out some holes in the mother board tray and run the cabling behind there. but I'm not doing that just yet.

It looks really messy now that i look at it again :dead:
Let me know what you think. Any tips or advice.

Thanks for looking.

Edit: i also sleeved all the wires on my own. Let me know how they look. Some of them aren't that amazing because i ran out of shrink tubing to finish it off with so i started using electrical tape.

The wires are great; don't look bad at all.

For management, first thing is get rid of unnecessary wires. I took mine and routed them behind my mobo tray.

Another thing, try to snake them around the case with them behind something. I have some of my wires going through holes in my case, secured to the top of my case, and zip-tied to the side.

Don't make the wire longer than it needs to be to get to where it needs to be. If you have any split-loom or something, take the wires and kinda fold them on itself and put the loom or sleeving around it. Less wire = less to worry about.

Group together cables going in similar places. I have 3 cables zip-tied together because they are right next to each other, and that way they can't shift around and get back in sight any more than they are.

I hope that helps for now. If you need a picture of anything I posted, just holler and I'll get one up.
