Recently, I have been looking at some finished case mods, namely the Predator Mod by feldm4n. I was wondering what were some good ways to hide the power cables and such in the case. I already have a sleeving kit and plan on using it, I would just like to know how to better hide the wires.

if the cables are long enough you might want to try putting them behind the mobo tray then bringing out from the edge towards the case?

I've tried that but my cables aren't that long. They can go behind the tray but they aren't long enough to reach the intended positions.

I usuually cut to size or cut and add extensions and repin to make my wires go where I want them.

How would you add extensions?

Just clip the wires in half and soder on an extra piece of wire. Don’t forget to shrinkwrap the 2 wires individually to avoid shorts. If you don’t have shinkwrap at least make sure you use some electrical tape (I know that shinkwrap is conmen sense but it would be a terrible mistake to make...)

Where would I go about getting extensions, just at my local hardware store or something?
