@ArmoredCavalry: Just took a look at your link and thought I&#039;d give you a few neat tips.

First, there is plenty of space to run the power cables behind your motherboard. I usually run the hard drive/floppy power cables behind the board at the top, and out on the right side just below the second standoff/screw. (the one halfway down the board)

Secondly, turn your hard drives 180 degrees, so all of the connectors are pointed toward the fans, and route the cables along the edges of the drives. this makes for a much neater appearance, and prevents the cables from blocking airflow. (by along the drive I mean along the bar metal part above the connectors)

Third, you have plenty of room to separate your hard drives. Move the middle drive up by one bay.

Lastly, Make sure that the fan on the back of your case is blowing out, not in toward the processor. Since hot air rises, proper airflow comes in at the bottom front, and is pushed out at the top rear. you also want to make sure that the grill on the front fan stays clean, otherwise you have an airflow problem there.

If anyone is interested, I&#039;ll post a few snapshots of one of my systems to give you a better idea of how this looks.</description>
