We all know what the many benefits of building a PC are, but occasionally we overlook some of the factors that keep our PC in check and keep us smiling. Airflow and cable management can certainly improve how we build and maintain our systems, and even having a basic knowledge of the two can make all the difference in creating a rig you truly admire through the years & upgrades. So, why should you care about airflow, and what’s all the fuss about cable management?

Airflow and Cable Management: Jump on it! This simply won't do...Antec to the rescue! Case in point: my friend Thomas. He’s always playing the latest games, editing surf videos, or hanging out with his BF3 clan. He never has to worry about his GPU not running a Crysis 2 or Skyrim type of game, and he’s never concerned about a lack of hard drive space. But when I took a look at Thomas’ machine two weeks ago, I had one of those teeth-grinding, stomach-unsettling moments. In one word, yikes. Check out the dust buildup on the fan filters (see our Facebook gallery) and, much worse, on the PSU itself! And what about that “rat’s nest” of cables?  Hi, this is your dusty PSU speaking, urging you to not "pull the plug" on me! This isn’t a knock against any of the components (after all, he reps Antec a little here, too) but rather an acknowledgment that Thomas did well in PC Neglect 101. He has to run his PC open-panel so that he has enough cooling for his components, and I guarantee he’s not proud to show that off. So I decided to help Thomas build a computer with plenty of included airflow and more than enough room to neatly arrange his components and keep dust (and dog!) to a minimum. Preparation I set my friend up with an Eleven Hundred, but this case was a little different from the retail model. It came from one of our earlier projects and had been stripped of both the top 200mm and rear 120mm fans. In addition, the windowed side panel had been replaced with a P280 side panel layered with polycarbonate to reduce noise. So what could we create from this altered chassis? Let’s have a look!  Respect my Advanced Gaming Authoritah! Recognizing the case was bare of cooling components, I gathered some 120mm case fans: two TriCool™s for front intake and an aesthetic touch, two TwoCool™s on the left for internal air intake, and one TwoCool Blue LED intake fan to mount on the motherboard-side panel to cool the back of the CPU. I killed two birds with one stone by upgrading the rear exhaust setup to a KUHLER H2O 620, making CPU operation during gaming less strenuous. I did some preliminary work for Thomas by installing the fans and paying particular attention to cable management. By taking my time and installing them more than once, I found out that even the orientation of the fan can make a difference in cable routing. Looking at the internal TwoCools, you can see I rotated the fan frame 90 degrees counter clockwise to provide a more flush option for cable management and to show less wiring inside the chassis. This virtually does nothing to airflow, but it adds up when you add in more parts and present your build.  Reducing the visible wiring by mounting the fan 90 degrees counterclockwise from the perceived orientation. I won’t show every step here but again refer you to the Antec Facebook gallery for a more thorough look. Airflow fo sho! Thomas had an interesting mix of components for us to work with. Though his processor and motherboard were from a generation or two ago, he was running an EVGA GTX 570; knowing this, I expected future upgrades in his future and decided to build accordingly. Remember, he used to run his PC with the side panel off. As you may have experienced before, that’s a potential dustaster…er, disaster. Besides, there’s one other entity to consider here. <wait for it…> OMG A PUPPY!!! This is Latte, quite possibly the sweetest canine around. You wouldn’t want to see her stick her nose in a beautifully assembled PC and cause damage to herself — or worse, the PC!  I can has PC? So I had to provide enough internal airflow to convince Thomas and his pooch that running a closed-panel computer would be just fine for his GTX 570. Two front intake fans + two internal intake fans should definitely handle the job. And when that AMD CPU is working hard during long Old Republic or Diablo 3 sessions, it’s got plenty of backup with a backplate cooling fan and one of our handy KUHLER H2O 620 water coolers. Tangled up in Cable Management Like most builds out there, the most difficult step in assembling this computer was cable management. If you want your build to look clean and neat, I think you have to keep cable management in mind throughout your entire building process. We certainly took this approach! Developing an effective cable routing strategy for the four-year old EarthWatts power supply was quite the puzzle. We took advantage of the Eleven Hundred’s bottom cable routing hole to tuck away most of the cables initially. Next, we moved onto the routing holes along the right side of the motherboard tray. Plugging in the 24-pin connector and 6+2 PCI-E connector were fairly straightforward, but the 8-pin motherboard connector was quite the conundrum! No matter the power supply’s orientation, we could not get the 8-pin to fit without showing it in its not-so-dainty entirety. We nearly achieved a successful routing through the holes on the right side, but alas, no dice. So I decided to take a dangerous approach and stick the 8-pin behind the motherboard. For the sake of one’s motherboard, don’t try this at home unless you’re nearing a mobo upgrade. But I gotta say, once it’s plugged in, it looks clean; you can’t even see the motherboard’s bulge.  A couple cable ties helped us group the wiring together. Over 30mm of cable management space is great, too! Moving onto the hard drive cabling. Now this was interesting to say the least! Thomas still uses his laptop hard drive and won’t part ways any time soon. On top of that, he uses quite the conspicuous (and archaic) yellow IDE cable for his DVD drive. There was no way around this one unfortunately. As for his thick, brightly colored SATA connectors that mysteriously make me think of cherry Airheads, I wrestled them down with a couple cable ties to cut down on their bulkiness inside the chassis. We would have routed them differently to tuck them behind the chassis more, but we couldn’t get them to fit to connect to the HDDs and at this point, our grommets were building up with cables. At the end of the day, we’re not afraid of the visible wiring given the non-modular PSU and some of the large and awkward cables we had to work with. Perhaps the easiest part of routing the cables came behind the motherboard tray. Usually, you have to spread your cables along the back of the motherboard tray and even tie them down on the hooks in order to fit the panel back on. With the Eleven Hundred, even with a non-modular power supply, we could be as lazy as we wanted! As you can see from the picture, we mostly lumped all the wiring from the different routing holes together and secured them with a couple zip ties. Thomas fit the panel back on with a firm push but without a resulting “cable bulge” you would normally feel from the outside. Okay, so we could have dragged some of the wiring and fastened them down with the motherboard tray’s hooks, but Thomas was anxious to get this done while his GPU drivers were still current! Ta Da! So there you have it! Given the assortment of cables and components, I’d say Thomas and I did a great job making his build more presentable, better cooled, and primed for upgrades in the future. His three HDDs have plenty of airflow from the front. Our KUHLER H2O is quietly operating and will do a great job aiding the CPU even when it’s on its last legs.  Not the neatest build but a significant improvement nontheless! We still have a problem with the top 200mm fan grill exposed, but perhaps we can start a modding project and take full advantage of every nook & cranny of this machine. Let’s not forget the P280 side panel which, while not the most important feature to a quiet PC, will reduce some of the noise and make a good addition aesthetically. Now Thomas has the gaming PC he’s wanted all along. He’s got the same performance from his GPU, RAM, and PSU, but he’s now more likely to get that level of performance even further down the road. With a little help from Antec and its products, you can create your perfect PC (or close enough!) that will put you, and even your four-legged friend, at ease. With the Antec blog, I’m Nick Pinkerton. Hunt Well.  Now this is a gaming PC to be proud of.

I love Antec P280 its the best for Quite Computing.
Nice write-up on the need to cable management and PC cleaning!
Great blog!
It really is super important to route your cables in a well-laid-out manner. Failure to do so just disrupts airflow and can block cooling to some pretty important areas. Good work on the case in question.. extremely colorful cables, though. Tell him he needs a HCP850 to cover his GTX 570, and then he’ll be set for future upgrades too!
Can anyone say Ivy Bridge?
Next blog: Positive or negative air pressure! Do iiit!
Big improvement! It looks a lot better. Cute puppy!
Nice write up. That cpu cooler is the one I have in all my pc’s.
Have to keep those components cool
I have fan filters so I clean those at least weekly and get inside the case every other week to dust it out.
Great job on improving the airflow and cable management of Thomas’ PC! I really enjoyed reading this post. The Eleven Hundred is an excellent case so I don’t see Thomas wanting to upgrade it anytime soon.
Alas some one with familiar circumstances. Money is tight around my house so I always get things one piece at a time. I route the cables one way for awhile and then get a newer component and then reroute again. I have dogs and cats (cat hair is the worst) and no matter what I seem to do every time I open up this monstrosity there is more cat hair in there. I break out the canned air once a month, and it aint cheap. Great post Nick, thanks for the read.
I would love to upgrade to a water cooler. It would be so much quieter than the fans I have.
Still loving the 900 I built my system in a few years ago, the air flow is so good with all the fans that my feet get cold after setting at the desk for a while. Great job cleaning up those cables. Now, who’s working on a self-cleaning computer?
A self-cleaning computer? Maybe we could work something controlled by a couple levers/switches lol.
They should use wireless technology for connecting parts , so no cable management needed
some cables should be more flexible and thinner , and i hope to see some interface replacement like replacing PATA/IDE with SATA , which makes cable management easier .
I believe it is safe to say that I could use a little Antec H20 in my system!
Nice post, cute dog:)
Heh, I think updating to a SATA drive would be a worthwhile investment. But it is definitely an improved build, much cleaner, less obstructions. I think it’ll work well for him for quite awhile…
I have an antec eleven hundred that i’m trying to install fans to much like this build. I am having trouble trying to screw in the fans into place. The screws the Tricool comes with are too thick compared to the drilled holes in the frame. How did you approach applying screws to the fans in the front of the case?
Tank, this you? I answered this on our FB but will do so again for everyone else. Don’t use the TriCool screws for that (save them though). Instead, use the really long screws (page 6, labeled “E” of the manual http://bit.ly/xZrY1K); those will work for TriCool. I hope that helps…whew, I’m gonna need a glass of water ’cause you just jogged my memory!
OH YEAH
Airflow is always a pain in the ass!
it’s all about the dog in the shirt <3
better cable management keeps your computer innards run cooler and more efficient. thanks for the great tip
Antec FTW
I agree, i don’t like opening my computer. i’m always fighting the dust build up. His computer is clean compared to mine.
I love the look of these cases =p.
I think that is a huge improvement! I always tell my customers, control the wireing, control the temp in the case. Great blog, and awesome best freind involvement. Good to see your freind’s computer will fun cleaner, faster and cooler.
Aaron-
This is an area I really need to work on. I am the kind of guy you probably hate… I put the computer together, fit the cables any which way, and then close the case up and don’t open it for years.
nice blog – my Antec 900 2v3 made it fairly easy to hide cables – although some were a little short to be completely hidden. Best case I have used; I did not want to blow the budget on a ridiculously expensive case with features you look at once then not use at all.
Especially like the case fans placements – great air flow.
Thanks Antec
Very nice. Much improved.
I would have liked to see some benchmark scores before & after.
Looks good! I like the cooling system on the new rig.
Great information here, we could all learn something.
I bought Antec 300 for my first build, love it. Nice sturdy case but a little lacking in cable management.
Really interested in getting a new Antec case with better cable management capabilities for my next build.
Good info.
im sure Thomas is glad about it i also need to do some cable management
Nice read, better cable management definately helps with airflow, in my Antec case the only cables you see are the connectors coming out of the routing holes.
Its really nice, wished my case also had good cable routing holes.
So what’s the temp before and after all this? I expect 1100 to reduce at least 11 degrees inside the cabby!
I don’t have any test results but hopefully I can throw a 3DMark code to my buddy so he can get us some benchmarks!
I’d have Antec’s babies!
I feel this cabinet just has about everything to satisfy a person!! Lots of free space… Being able to harbour a XL-ATX makes it damn good for future upgrades… Not only that.. It has excellent cabling management.. as well as cooling thatmay make d mobo get a frost bite..
Seriously… this is truly something to have possession of.
Anyone could use this information you just posted. Thanks!:)
very nice write up. i would love to mod a case one day. i have lots of ideals or one. just do not have the tools needed for a mod case.
I think I spend 6 hours routing cables my last build.
this looks a whole lot like my puter. I dont give a hoot about looks though, but functionality, so i have multicolored cables, and ugly fans. My hdd cage is turned 180 degrees so i could route cables through the front panel, i went without optical drives, and used the space and half of the drive bays to make room for a 240 rad/res combo with the pump mounted directly on it, and a 280 rad topside. For now its just cooling the 2500k cus i cant afford a waterblock for the gpu atm. All i can say is it sounds a lot like a vacuum cleaner but only runs 1 or 2 degrees above ambient in the case at full load.
WOW! What a nice case. I like it overall!
It’s a good article, and I agree that keeping a PC neat is important. It does become a problem though once you start adding a heap of components into the PC.
I run 10 HDDs, 2 DVD/RW drives, and with that many SATA cables alone, its a pain to keep them routed in a way that doesn’t do damage to cables/clips/connectors, yet looks good and allows good air flow.
The open panel/ closed panel is actually a debate friends of mine and I have had many times, and I say that it is far better to have it closed. reasons:
1- dust… DUH!
2- Air flow. CPU fans etc, mostly make the air circulate inside the case in a small area, and without a closed box, (and a bare minimum single exhaust fan) it simply doesn’t cool anything down.
3- simply just looks nicer.
At the end of the day though, having some serious fans (over 250cfm each intake fan) kinda makes short work of any air flow issues, and keeping positive pressure in the case and makes sure that all those tiny gaps that normally clog up with dust, don’t allow dust to get in through them. Mine is loud, but it’s not an issue for me, I run 2 DELL Poweredge servers near me anyway, and I kinda have bad hearing so… yeh
Way to go helping a friend out like that. Cable management is overlooked a lot, but honestly, I myself enjoy doing it.
Nice post. I admit to defaulting to cable ties too much, but discovered the magic of a modular power supply in my last build. It made a world of difference… though a few years old now.
Hey guys, nice post, I’m a bit sloppy when it comes to cable management but this has given me some nice hints and a bit of a kick to get on and sort out the internals of my rig, thanks muchly
I need one of those water coolers. I have had my new system for 6 weeks now and dust is a problem. I get great airflow in my DF-85 but I’m constantly cleaning the filters in the front. I get lots of dust inside through the side vent. Is there a filter for that? I feel like it should have come with one. I’d like to put a fan there but I think it would make the dust problem worse. I really like the DF-85 but I wonder if a P280 might have been a better choice.
Great case. Have always wanted an Eleven Hundred!
that was a nice blog. i like it.
D
Отличный пост,теперь понимаю Антек работают как собаки.
I hope that’s a compliment lol. We’re a passionate group here!!
I bought an Antec Skeleton a few months ago and I love it. Although it’s an open air case, cable management isn’t too fun
Cable ties to the rescue! It looks great though, I have the majority of the cables stashed behind the front “bezel”, there’s PLENTY of room for a long video card. (My 560 Ti leaves about 5 inches of room. Not too shabby, eh?)
Thanks for the real-life example. Antec has been good to me over the years, and I’ll be counting on Antec for my next system build, using a P280.
That was a great improvement to the pc. I’m generally rubbish at cable management. I bought both a p180 (for the silence and size)and a neopower 650. I tried and it still ended up looking like the first pic.
I’m glad to see Antec has improved their cable management significantly since the 1200 with the 1100. I am definitely considering this case to replace my 1200 for this very reason.
Wow very nice setup, almost identical to a friend of mine’s computer, except better components
Good job stitching it through with cables ties!!! thumbs up for it mostly on the IDE cable!=D job well done more acurate air is flowing on the case protecting the 570 and the ram for heat pressure! And i must say that the 620 will defenitely get the job done on the CPU because i am actually a user of it and it is just perfect! hard drives is well placed spacing is great for much more air for them to breath & the 2 more fans inside is good but imho 1 will do the trick! Overall it is a great cable management and more apealing than before!!
I recently built me a new pc, of course i had to get some components from my old HP case, My god its amazing the computer even booted for me. AIRFLOW is my friend now
Cleaning the entire system is not joke and cannot make short cuts about it and must commit to doing it right! Making the correct cable managements is also important. To ensure fan don’t blow into the casing without a filter.
Great Job in Cleaning you Case Clean! Enjoy for the many months to come… till it get dusty again and doing it all over again.
Cheers!
After reading this blog I’m planning to use the same cooler for my x79 chipset
Cable management is key, I always spend extra time routing/hiding cables.
I love my Antec 1200 but the 1100 looks like a great mid size case. One that would be easy to cary to LAN Parties and not weigh 32lbs empty.
Nice setup guys, and a very nice blog
I can never get my cable management together….but damn, it does look a lot better if you do it.
I have an Antec Three Hundred and I did some cable management there as well and it looks so good inside, great article!
Looking forward to my next build with the Eleven Hundred I am winning today
Using the balance from my lottery winnings (should be winning that one tonight) it’ll be noticeably faster than my middle of the road rig from last year 
But I gotta say: Who picked the yellow IDE hoses?
Cable management is an art, and the artist needs the proper canvas to work with.
Shane, you are a wordsmith. Hopefully we can get a gaming marathon up again so you can prove you’re also a “gamesmith.”
minimizing cable visibility takes a while, but totally worth it
Cabling is becoming more and more important as components throw off more and more heat, and I appreciate companies like Antec that recognize that fact and have designed their cases with that in mind.
I dont know much about computers. ‘Cept for the one i got at home,mom put a couple games one it
I have a feeling that Latte is not going to last long with the attidude that you have
.
In all serious aspects, it was a nice article. Now you need to get LED strips and make it have a all blue interior, and get a window on the side.
Great article on what looks to be a great case!
oh antec just awesome i have a 600 currently the cable management is not the gretest so this would do me some good love my 600 though
Great read… I’d be ashamed to show anybody my case atm!!!
Air flow and cable management is definitely an important concern that a lot of people overlook. Nice rework.
This reminds that I have to redo my cables in my computer. Nice write up mate.
I used to think that cable management was just for aesthetics but one day i decided to give it a try. I got an improvement of 2ºC less on my GPUs and about the same for my GPU, just by using cable management.
Nice article, fundamental stuffs are mentioned clearly, looks clean =D hope to get my hand on it!
This is sweet! I have an out of work network guy here that would love this.
Incredible case and it looks so clean! I can’t imagine being able sort my system out so well with my current chassis. The temperature difference with the airflow would be great and dust is a huge concern to me as well. All in all it looks like an amazing case. Cheers for the review!
I love Antec products, still rocking my 900 case that I’ve had for 3 years or so. The only problem I’ve had is the cable management which was widely regarded as the main issue with this case, but its brilliantly made, got excellent cooling and it looks awesome!
I love when cases make cable management easy. My first PC was horrid, cables strewn about! But my first Antec case made me realize that cable management could be done easily with the right case.
very nice was looking at buying one of these cases for easy cable management and airflow myself
I can’t wait to get a new case so i can try this, with my current case i couldn’t even dream of it!
Well written. I like this because it definitely applies to a lot of us pc users. Myself for example, I don’t have a modular PSU either and my current chassis is small. It’s like managing a giant octopus in there and I’m some part of an Odyssey story just to get it to work.
The cable management looks really good. Does it come with many zip ties or adhesive cord “hooks”?
Nice write up. Antec FTW!
Would like to have one!
Cable management make it looks nice. Nice read!
I’ve actually got a Kuhler 620 in my build, and I love it to death. I could really do with better cable management, but seeing as I’m still running a 9800GTX with a ton of room to spare, I continue to be lazy…at least until I upgrade
Pretty awesome, Antec nice cable managment
Usefull article.
Excellent write up, and I particularly love the design of the Eleven Hundred even more than my twelve hundred because of the direction the hard drives are mounted in, allows for better cable management.
Sweet makeover. And very timely blog, as I’m getting ready to do my first DIY build. Thanks!
Man, with all that extra room by the CPU you could slide in a six pack of bee… soda in there. Very nice.
Cable managment and any potential routng or airflow blockage issues would be a thing of the past if SATA backplanes were more commonplace in chassis. They are common in OEM systems, workstations and servers but not generic enthusiast ones.
LianLi has taken steps in this direction howevere they have a niche compared to Antec, and this is something well within Antec’s capabililty. Their solution is too big, expensive and not as elegant as can be,
By including a SATA backplate, power could be managed by the backplane PCB keeping cabling minimalised and tidy. A bonus is easy installation of HDDs and managed airflow.
In addition, there is no standard for PSU makers to space their PSU connectors on their PSU cables. Neither is there any standard spacing for HDD bays.
Due to inconsistent spacing it is almost impossible to complete the wiring on a generic ‘gamer’ chassis filled with drives wether it is 6 or 10 drives due to the inabililty to connect the power plugs without adapters due to their daisy chain nature. If you are lucky you may be able to install half drives as per the blog photos.
Secondary is the drives are so closely sandwiched together that right angle SATA DATA cables cannot be used.
Antec has made some weird and wonderful PSU over the years. Take a hint. Fix the problem. OEM systems do not have rat nests of cables. Matching power and chassis spacing or backplanes would elminate 90% of problems.
Recommend these aspects to industry,spearhead something that can be adopted. Your customer base typically fill your chassis up and need a professional wiring solution, not ugly and dangerous mess cables which can fry HDDs
First of all, cute puppy! I’d be in heaven to have such nice cable management. Opening the case I have now and working with it kinda reminds me of playing that game “Operation”. Not to mention it’s very unsightly. I see so many fans in that and can’t fathom how nice that airflow is. I love Antec though and I’m about to finally buy 2 TrueQuiet fans!
I have a question that’s kinda random. How’s the noise or vibration level with the hard drives installed on the ‘rails’?
Gotta love Antec products, they always look (and are) so cool!
Of course I love all the features of this case but that’s a great idea about replacing the side panel. I think it’s nice to look in at your components but to me noise is a huge factor alongside the dust and cable management. But WOW this case is gigantic! lol I’d love to have that much freedom with my pc.
And it’s not even a “Full Tower” though it fits just as much.
This is a great case with a great write up. I may have to get some of that cable management going on!!!Nice job Antec!
Nice read. I always hate managing cables…
Yo, why is the gpu in the second pci e slot? also you should have routed the sata cables through the same hole as the 6 pin pci e connectors, other than that looking good lol
We just wanted some more clearance from the KUHLER. I think we should have thought about the SATA connectors before blocking up that cable routing hole lol, but, from what I remember, we’d have a hard time getting those connectors to reach the HDDs anyway.
That case looks beastly! Very good review. I’m really bad with cable management so it’s always good if there’s a bit more extra room for me to mess up.
I can has PC?
very informative post…good read!
Thomas is a lucky fella. I’ve been thinking of upgrading to a full tower but went ahead and cleaned up my mid.
That cable management in the old PC made me laugh my ass off, im glad that’s fixed now. My cable management system would look similar if my Antec 300 Illusion didn’t have that little space by the front fans to cram all my wires into and wrap them around.
Totally digging the direction those HDDs are facing in this 1100, having the ends of them facing the cable management section is smart. I like my 300 and all as a first build case, but compared to the newer models from
Antec and other companies I can tell that it’s an older model fairly quickly.
Pic is my PC
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/6473/0330121307.jpg
that’s why i loved cable management so much not only to increase good airflow condition inside but also make inside of my pc look neat and tidy
by the way i always like antec product
p.s.: hope can win this eleven hundred, this thing already in my wishlist for my mod project
I wish the inside of my computer looked like that. Darn cables obstructing the view of everything in my computer.
Taking Notes!
I clean out my computer of all the dust build up it gets every few months just to make sure there’s good airflow. My computer caught on fire before due to bad cable management. Yikes!
A thing of Beauty Nick! Antec really makes some sweet hardware and you’ve got the skills to make it look easy! Thanks for sharing!
Cable Management Can be a Beast. thank you for posting this.
Very good write up and informative. I enjoyed reading this.
This blog entry definitely gives me some ideas for better airflow and cable management in my system. Thank you very much.
This article is PERFECT for first time builders like myself. I plan on using this info on my first system soon!
This is an amazing case. I spent a good solid 2 months reading reviews, pouring over manufacture websites, combing newegg, and any other site that sells enclosures and I must say that this case is amazing for the price.
Nice guide, but you’ll could have used cable piping etc,go a bit more advance,to make everything very much neater.
Please Do more stuff like this please. 
Also guys who don’t have cable ties, can use the copper wire, from either your tv CABLE . You’ve gotta cut them out. Also i think tiny clips and book binders work well
Hey, that first pic kinda looks like the inside of my case. I mean, um, of course I have good cable management. Seriously though, even before reading this, I’ve been considering getting this case (replacing my old Sonata), partially because of the cable management.
Already noted this. Great stuff to know
really interesting! good stufff…
Loved the yellow on the IDE cabling. Looks similar to the heat shrink tubing use (i dont shrink it though, stuff is hard as a rock when its shrunk).
good guide, very good tips, but i think there are many more tips which other modders use in their PC, that are verry effective. I think those should also be included. This is the basics. I Think this post should be updated regularly.
^ I’ve actually never done any modding, but we are working with a couple pros who will give us some good insight on really tweaking PCs and customizing them. But that’s not to say my friend and I can’t take this on as an ongoing upgrading/modding project. Thanks for the comment!
Much nicer than my current case.
A well written piece, full of information. I don’t think many people realize how important cable management can be, especially concerning airflow for cooling components.
great article. i have to start doing some cable management myself.
The inside of his case looks a lot like mine. Unless you buy a case with cable management options, it’s rather hard to keep all your cables out of the way.
Well done. Almost every casual owner could use this bit of information. Doesn’t have to be hard and expands the life of your parts.
Beautiful job on management with an outstanding box. Well done again
love to win this one
i love antec n cause they make good cases
Nice article, ANTEC. You should teach Latte to do a proper CM too. Would be great to see a video of him/her tinkering with cables
this is a really interesting article. thanks.http://www.kitsucesso.com
I am truly delighted to glance at this web site posts which includes plenty of helpful
information, thanks for providing such statistics.
