yeah my case has air filters (im so cool

) anyways my case has like latches in the case that hold the wires in certain spots...so it stays in one particular region...quite nice...plus the combo of rounded ide cables...its good

if your willing to go a little far you can actually cut off the wires on the psu you aren't using. I may sound weird, but if you leave about 1/2 an inch you can always reattach the cables you cut off. Getting rid of the floppy connectors, and one or two of the regular molex's, even the connectors that a specific the processor you don't have can save space.

Or you could just get a modular power supply? They are pretty cheap now a days.

Whats a regular molex ?

Yes cutting all those PSU cables would save a lot of space, but it does sound drastic !

Why - its nothing special ?

But as you have been so helpful and because this thread was started by me I will do so on the weekend.

It will be a sort of before and after if you get what I mean.
