Here it is, Let me know your thoughts and comments,

should be running the xigmatech s1283, but we didnt want to risk the motherboard it was stuck to, so me and a friend swapped coolers, the cm 212 is okay, but im not a big fan of it, no good reasons, just astetics really...

i did my best on cable managment, but my patience is low, need to dsrill some holes, but if all goes well, i will get the case powder coated this summer...anyways, here the pics are....please let me know what you think...

Sweet stuff Brent! You have a case with functional cable management though you should really revisit. My new case has little room for cable management but I still managed to make it look clean with some loom and ties. Especially with a nice build like that :)

Can't see the first picture, so I can only comment on the "foggy" 2nd and 3rd pics, which I just have :P

first pic is there for ya now stevo, let me know if its not, cant figure out the img buttoms, sorry for my lameness tonight, but cant be bothered,

phonix, any tips? whats worse is that is a modular psu, keep in mind my mentions above about drilling holes and powder coating this summer, so basically any tips have to be on a stock 900, im pretty much newb when it comes to cable management, due to my lack of patience....

I've never mucked about on the inside of a 900 (is it 900v2?) but the best way when there isn't holes in the mobo tray is to route as many cables behind the drive cage as possible (if possible) and really think hard about eliminating the needs to stretch unnecessary cables to different spots in the case. For example, instead of taking a long psu cable that has both molex and sata connectors on it all the way up the case, just get a molex/sata splitter to add to one that's already located up there. I'm sure you get what I mean because it's hard to explain lol.

Split loom and velcro adjustable cable ties are a must. Loom makes any visible cables look tidier and keeps multiple wires encased inside of a bigger wire.

Also, when you have a black interior after powder coating you should try to use black loom and black sata cables, so they just kinda blend or camo in.

Most important part is use your imagination. A trip to the dollar store will give you all sorts of ideas.

EDIT: Keep in mind the current state of your management isn't bad at all, I just know that there's always room for improvement. :)

we can suggest things till we are blue in the face really, but it comes down to patience and sometimes redoing things a few times till its right. The 900 does have slots for cable routing for you to use - so just be a little imaginative.

run every single psu cable right out the back. Then one by one feed them around the neatest route(where as little cable is visible) as possible when looking in. cable ties are needed alot if not all of the time to help keep things just so.

Perhaps someone with some experience can sit with you and take an hour and go thru the wiring with you. Once you see some simple things done, you will try things on your own.

smoke some weed and you would probably spend 6 hours being maticulous lol j/k

Phonix: great suggesting the black loom.

im not a complete noob at this, and i know the tricks about sleeves behind, i think im actually going to leave it for a bit, and i dont want to hide some of the cables, i.e. the sata cables are out for looks, as well hopefully will have some sleeving to do the psu the same, but thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated!
