Well looking at your board and case you should still be able to run the cable on the front cleanly. You may be able to drill sets of 2 hole so you can run the cable and hold it with tie wraps.

Room i have not used that case but there may also be room to put the hard drive backwards and run the sata cable under the tray and just cut out the section behind the hard drives. It looks like you would have to do some cutting, but its an idea...

If you do anything dont forget to post lots of pics.

I will definately do something but it may be as long as 2 weeks before I post any pictures. There are some things I want to order before I start. So please don't unsubscribe to this thread. I will make it worth the forum's time. I plan to post before and after pictures too (side by side).

^ That's my most used PC. Will try to post pics of my main gaming rig (which is at my uncle's house, cause I go there to game every Friday).

Specs:
E2180 @3.2 Ghz (lapped)
P35-DS3L (MOSFET heatsinks, NB fan)
1GB DDR2 667 (DIY heatsink) @ max of up to 700, currently 1:1.
OCZ Vanquisher (lapped)
8400GS @ 700/475 (BIOS moded, volt moded, RAM heatsinks))
EPower 520W (Tier 3, not the best lol, but looks cool)
Unique way to get 80mm exhaust (note the fan behind heatsink, and near PCI socket) fans to work. (Uses PCI slot for power [look at PCI below the graphics card]). I can use up to 16 fans this way).

Earlier in this thread people were looking for sound foam. Here are a couple of sites

Can't you get the same stuff and MORE of it for a cheaper price at a place like Lowe's or Home Depot?

BTW those links are great. Especially the endpcnoise.com one

Any one know how much those foam effect temps?

 

[rwayne]

If you get the type that lays flat and does not look like an egg crate I would think your temps would not go up much at all.

Since a case dissipates heat through the metal(ever feel the side of a case in the summer and its warm) and heat does not go through foam well, there is a increase in temp...but with good airflow its not going to be more then 2-5c.
