There's no window, so it's ok for the wires to be a bit messy, right? ;)

right, and anyway, they are clumped in a spot that doesnt need high airflow
 
That is a pretty neat computer.

No window, I wouldn't worry about those wires.

How is gaming on wireless working for you?

While I'm out at school, I'm plugged into the house lan. But here at home during the summer, wireless works great. I can't really tell the difference actually, while gaming. File transfer on my home network...now thats a different story ;)

The USB and front panel wires can be run underneath the motherboard. Of course, at this point, that would require a complete disassembly. As I'm running them, I tape them down about every 3 inches with masking tape to hold them in place. The reason I use masking tape is because it's not too sticky, so if I need to rearrange the cables (and I did about 20 times), they come up easily and don't leave a sticky mess.

Before the motherboard goes in, snake the USB cables along the base of the case (flat) past the front of the HDD cage (right side as you look from the front of the case). Run them about 1/3 of the length of the motherboard along the right side, then curve them to the middle. Then, turn them towards the back of the case (at about dead center of the motherboard), and curve them back to the left once you are about an inch from the back-plate. At that angle, coming back towards the front of the case, you'll be able to fit them between the motherboard and the edge of the case.

The same goes for the front panel wires. Run them inside the USB cables (read left of the USB cables as you look from the front of the case). The reason you have to snake them around is because you need to avoid the heatsink back-plate. The USB cables are too thick to run underneath this. Also, the cables are very long, so snaking them around helps take up the slack.

I'm going to borrow my girlfriend's digital camera next weekend and take some shots of my setup (inside and out). Showing you is a lot easier than trying to explain it. As it stands, the way your cables happen to be arranged doesn't seem to hurt your airflow.

I think I understand what you said, but I'm sure the pictures will help a lot :cool: Thanks!
 
My pics have been delayed because A) My girlfriend forgot to bring her camera this weekend and B) I messed around with my second rig and well, I spent what little free time I had over the weekend fixing it.

So, my new plan is to take the pictures NEXT weekend. :)
