I wasnt trying to be offensive, it just seems in the picture that all your cables are bunched up, completly negating most of the cooling your case can provide.

I personally had to spend ALOT of time re-routing cables so that ~87% of them didnt interfere with the airflow that my Antec 900 could provide:P Its a difficult task, I must say; making sure that everything is routed behind the motherboard tray and that any cables that cant go there are then re-routed on the side of the HHD cages in order to not impede incomming and outgoin airflow. Some of the cables also had to be tucked underneath my first HHD cage. I had to cleverly reposition it a little higher knowing that I would need the extra space since my PSU wasnt modular.

You have a very nice system, but you could dramatically enhance its cooling ability with a little extra time spent wokring on the cables. Sadly its the one weak spot of the case, its a pure bitch to work in:/

I'm not sure if you're referencing this but the PC Power and Cooling PCUs have tons of cables, that's probably the bulk you're referring to in the picture. As far as I can tell, can't do much about em but zip tie the mass to some semi-out of the way place.

I have a PC Power & Cooling silencer as well, just the 610watt version. The point is that you can do something about it:P
