my wiring job, does it need working on?

[ForceFedFlesh]

i tried to hide the wiring as best as i could.

Doesnt look too bad (better than mine ):p but It could do with some improvement.

yea it does need improvement but other than that it looks decent.

There's always room for improvement, it's when you're happy that matters.

One idea, if you aren't happy (which i'm guessing you're not, or you wouldn't be asking how to improve it) would be shortening some of the wires. Not too short, but just a bit. Your Mobo power connector, for example, you could pull out and trim down a bit. Then you would have less cable to worry about.

But being honest, if you've not done something like this before:
1) Practice on a dead Power Unit, i'm sure the local computer shop can spare one or two of those.
2) Get confident with your abilities first.

And good luck!

thanx for the replys everyone...............now wen u said "trim" the wires, did u mean using cable ties or scissors cuz wen someone in general says to "trim" something u normally assoiciate that with cutting and i dont wana risk going threw that.

[Judgement]

First thing that i can think of is it looks like u tryed to run all the wires to the upper right Corner and hide em there better way to hide em is to run em along the bottom and then up behind the HD rack useing zip ties and such to keep them in place (or if ur lazy like me use twist ties from ur trash bags XD) there as alot of wireing help topics if u look around here ull get it they way u want it just takes time

[DaveW]

Yeah, i did mean cutting and so forth, but it's not for everyone

Your wiring job looks fine, but i should say that trimming the wires is a really easy job. Don't be afraid of getting stuck right in there, just make sure you unplug it and so forth, taking all the obvious safety measures. You'd need wire strippers, pliers, and cable snips. First step, measure how short you want the cables to be. Then, one at a time, snip a wire, strip the cable, wrap it in the pin, squeeze it with the pliers, then it simply slides into the right pin. For your Mobo, you're looking for either a 20 or 24 pin connector-it's a pretty simple job. If you're worried, like i say, practice-if it's something you don't want to bother with, then leave it. At the end of the day, you're the one who has to look at it all the time, so it's your call
