Soar, you really don't want to know how it looks on the other side. Suffice to say that it's one huge tangle of cables that barely fit .
If you really want to get rid of the multicoloured cables you could sleeve them. Most modders do this and it does give a nice finnish to the job. A bit fiddly but worth it.
I just may go for it but probably no sooner than around summer. Won't make that much of a difference anyway as most of the non-black cables are SATA ones and I don't really see the point of modifying them. That leaves POWER, HDD, etc. cables and motherboard power extension. Right, GT fans and eventually the rear exhaust, too.
In the end, it doesn't matter all that much as normally you won't see more than the front and right panel of my case. Most of the time it's just sitting there under my desk .
Man, I'd like to paint it black inside but I don't have the means to do it.
Yes, for now, my "other side" also looks like a total rats nest! In time I'll clean in up. But for now, I am so happy the machine works and works well!
I do not understand not having the means to paint the inside...
For me, it was as simple as buying one can of black spray paint, removing minimal amount of hardware, and going outside and spray painting it. It only took me about an hour and now I am glad I did it before the assembly.
To do it real good, you should rough it up with steel wool or fine [220 grit] sandpaper, choose a warm day [70f degrees or higher], tape off the parts you do not want painted, and just do it [using several fine coats of paint are much better than one thick coat, like I did]! It is much easier than it appears...
Why is this so challenging for you?
Please help me to understand.
