No no no no no!

That's all EASY... parts in most cases go in one way... and as long as you're taking it carefully, there shouldn't be a problem...

Cable managements is the biggest bitch... particularly with multiple HDDs and graphics cards... the power and connection cables are awful...even in a massive case like my Antec900
nah, my 2nd hard drive was so hard to put, the slot was way too small and when i finally got it in, the cable that came with the compy wasn't long enough

cable management is an artform.

IMHO, I think the middle system is much cleaner and accessible. The very bottom system looks like the cords and cables will have to go out somewhere else... it looks very shabby and a crap system too. :p

the bottom system looks like it doesnt have anything to put cables to, one harddrive, one cd/dvd drive, minimal everything, naturally less cables

I got some of my other friends to help me build my computer yesterday. It ended up looking somewaht like the first picture except all the components didn't fit in. Turned out the casing was too small.

That's a pretty awesome cable management case...

And water cooling does make things slightly easier in that you don't have massive fans everywhere...

It's much harder when you have lots of cable and nowhere to put it...

750W Titan. More cables to poke a stick at.


Mine is a messy fucker, but thats because the side panel is off 80% of the time and the case is rather small.

Never realised lol, none of those are mine btw...

and you have nice cable management xD
It's a pretty big case. lol.

My idea of cable management - Cable tie everything that isn't in use and stuff it somewhere to improve airflow =p
