So far, I have been practicing by covering and bundling the wires to the fan power units in the HAF case. Here's my question, once I start adding the mother board (the P6 Delux I think) what do I do with the new wires that I am bundling.

There is a sheet of paper with holes for threading teh wire bundles and organizing them. I assume this is some kind of template. Do I use them or just try to keep as many of the wires on the back side of the motherboard as possible. I have a lot of lexan sheet left over from my boatwork. Should I lay the paper over the lexan sheet and cut the holes for the wire bundles and install the lexan in the case to help organize the wires? Is this possible. What would Blind do?

BTW, I can't get the ATI 5870 card that I was going to install in the system as a stop gap. There is a new 5970 dual card that is faster than the NVIDIA 295 dual card. Given the unavailability of the ATI cards, I will probably have to wait for the new Fermi cards from NVIDIA which should start shipping in early Janaury. The new Fermi version of the 295 is rumored to be an ass kicker.

My plan is to keep plodding with my wiring (im doing it a small bit at a time cause it is so tedious) and have the machine built, execpt for the GPU. We should hear from NVIDIA by Mid December.

I would try and hide the wires the best I could to keep the inside of the case clean looking. I like the lexan idea... I have seen folks use that before, I guess the only caution would be that it doesn't interfere with the cooling.
