Zip ties are great for cable management, I have never been a fan of braiding and I'm not sure what is going on with the latest craze to have individual wires braided. If it is for looks why not just change all the wires to black or something?

The area infront of the PSU is a little crowded as I decided to not cut any power connectors in case I need them for a future upgrade.

The right hand side is much cleaner so look here instead.

I really wish the board had a DVI port as I have to keep an old monitor with VGA port here just in case I have to rebuild the system.

One day we might see a better selection of short SATA cables, until then this will have to do.

First testrun after the assembly and it all worked not to mention the cover did still fit. Don't mind the key based start button, it was the only switch I had connected to a motherboard header already.

And the long wait starts...
