Have to post this because donut posted his.


Using my netbook as a PC, and that's a picture of donut's setup. He wouldn't create a paradox

e: @ Freelancer; where would I cut holes?

[Cortexian]

Cut holes in the mobo tray so you can feed cables behind it and the other side panel. Like this:




Yours will be a bit different layout since the PSU is at the top. Cut a bit of a hole where you want to feed all hte PSU wires behind, and then cut a gap along the mobo tray edge so you can get the cables out and around to the mobo/components. Then route all your cables to the drive bays along the top or bottom edge of the case.

I can't. The way the case is built I can only open up one side of it. The left side panel is also part of the top and bottom, and it's riveted to the whole thing.

Why don't you just buy a new case? Or is money an issue?

[ThePlague]

Kind of a money issue. I spent the 300 dollars I worked for last weekend (Don't have an actual job). I also kind of like the case. When I do get more money though, i'm going to look into getting a new case.

[Cortexian]

That's got to be the worst idea ever... Why the fuck didn't they just make the mobo tray the side of the case then or eliminate the space behind it if you can't even get back there. Or make the case thinner or something.

Fail.

[ThePlague]

Since the motherboard I bought didn't fit my case, I went to an electronics store and bought an Antec 300. I'll take some pictures later. For my first complete build though, it seems like a great case.

[Cortexian]

Cable manage that shit or I'll gouge out your ovaries with a rusty spoon. And since you're a guy, I'll be at it for awhile trying to find them.

Just place all your components in, then start adding the cables you need starting with the PSU (since it's a big component that needs to go in anyways). Take both side covers off and tuck stuff behind the mobo tray and such like in my photos.
