My Antec900 Mod, Pc Re Build

[a98pmalcolm]

Hay all. Iv been spending alot of time rebuilding my PC to sort out cable management.

As some of you PC Gamers may know the Antec900 is a great case but its a little short for a rig with 2 HDD's, 2 GFX cards etc..

 

So here is my work

 

This is what it looks liked before all messy:

Cut of the power, HDD light and reset switch lead to extend them as antec for some reason makes them very short:

And the Final product, Needs a little more tidying but with the case so short and it pretty full, but not to bad result :-) looks better in person ;-) :
