place fans in the front and back of the case - I see mounting holes for fans - use them. Your CPU/Case temps must be high without these fans. Try get ball bearing fans they have a higher RPM and longer life.

As far as cable management - bunch up the cables and tie them up with plastic ties or even a string - but do NOT use tapes.

I may be wrong but it looks to me that you are using ATA33 40wire cables for the drives change to ATA100 80 wire cables if this is correct.

tried my very best...
heres' the outcome.

Its enough when your CPU and Case temps are close to room temperatures :) - what are these temps in your setup ?

What you have now done with the cables should show you a slight drop in CPU temps.... did you see any difference in temps ?

I did not notice the fans on side panel and top of case in the earlier pics - MY BAD !! :no:

Can I make a suggestion ? Move the lower Optical drive to a slot lower which will give you one slot free between the 2 optical drives..... now tie the cables from the power supply to the side of the drive cage in this empty 5.25" slot and these cables will be not be over the MoBo and will be out of the way.

cant do that...since my cabbi has the opening slots only on top two areas...
if i put in in 3rd slot...i would not be able to use it.::no:

is this OK??
 
ok..then ... here are my options.. for cooling...

(for back i think i'll go for 120mm altec)

this is the front part....suggest something....

would the rear cooling be enough...!!
& how should i set the fans... ? ? to blow the air in or to blow the air out...
the current 3 fans (on the cabby sides are set to blow the air inside.)
