Try running them between the motherboard try and the other side of the case if you have the room. My brother has enough room in his case and has done this.
There is a spiral wrap product that will contain the wires into a bundle. It comes in several sizes and several colors. I found some at my local electronics surplus house.
look under cables and accessories. Using this along with wire ties cleaned up most of my mess and I would like to believe that it improved my airflow.
Enjoy!
Just loop all of your extra cables together into an 8-bundle and wrap them in a twist tie or velcro strap. It's really the only convenient solution for a case that doesn't have an extra cable bypass room like the FS020 does.
It looks to me as if you have decided to allow your mobo to remain cable free at the expense of the cable mess above.
When I cabled my new system I spent many hours cabling and thinking about the compromises to make in order to have an overall good effect with cable mess not at the expense of any visible area unduly.
I distributed the cables according to a prior list. Overall, I have a mobo that is pretty cable free too.
I have a huge amount of gear in my Lian-Li PC-70 (which is huge) but case is not that small either.
I would reappraise the location and sighing of cables again.
Also use connected cables to hide unused ones. It takes some planning and thought but you can still get a nice effect. However, the more gear you have the more cables you have to deal with and the bigger the problem becomes.
Guys...thanks for the ideas. I see this is gonna take a bit of time...but it really annoys the heck out of me...so I will sit down this week for a few hours and get it sorted.
God you should see my machine!!! Cripes, it looks like a rats nest compared to yours BBL. But then I have 4 hd's, 1 cdr, 1 dvd r, 1 fdd, 3 case fans and a 9800 pro with iceberg cooling and an additional fan on the memory!. I need a leaf blower to just get mild circulation through my case!
