messy cables. It bothers me when I'm sitting at the desk.
About $2 worth of zip ties would fix that up. Unfortunately, painting that pink wall will be a bit more.

Very nice! Mind if I ask what case you're using?
Edit: Nvm found your other thread. Question though, do you have any problems with the smell of the case? I've read online that some people have been having issues with the Bitumen used in the case, and that it can smell pretty bad sometimes.
Whats wrong with doors? They reduce noise, dust intake, and overall give the case a cleaner look while still allowing easy access to the drive bays. Also I haven't seen any case worth anything have the front headers behind the door.
No odor problems at all.
I may follow up again down the road but I'll prob have to be reminded. But I think I said before that without any floppy or optical drives, I shouldn't have a need to open it at all. Shouldn't be an issue. It also doesn't have a snap or those tension clasps to keep it closed like a lot of the doored cases; rather it had some hidden magnets enclosed somewhere that hold it closed with some very soft and quiet pulling. Quiet nice actually.
I've got the racks to mount the HDDs up top so the bottom cage can be removed also but I've been playing the heck out of Assassin's Creed 4 with the weather being all shit. I'll get to it eventually.

I never really understood the point of those "gaming" keyboards that included a bunch of extra keys (on in this case that arrow cluster off to the left). Wouldn't it be better just to... assign keys near the WASD cluster to the commands you need? Rather than having to wrestle with keyboard software, in addition to having you keyboard take up that much more space?
That being said though your setup looks pretty solid. I like how you have easy access to your consoles as well. Personally though I'd stick to PC gaming :P.
