Basically what I am stuck with at the moment is this:
And that's after a few hours of cable management!
The main problem is quite obviously the power supply, its a Tagan 2-Force II 900W beast, massively overkill for what I have, but there was the intention of crossfire at some point during the last 2 years! It has a massive amount of cables (there are another 2 molex branches and a dual 6 pin PCI-E (+2 pin expansion) hidden behind the motherboard tray) and the 5 (or 6?) rail system means I can't have all my hard-drives on one lead.
Trying to organise this has been a nightmare, but other than that it is a decent power supply and cost a reasonable amount back then.
I have recently received: 4 x Artic Cooling F12 fans, anti-vibration kit, Acousticpack Ultimate sound absorption kit, Antec Veris Multimedia station Elite and a Scythe Kazemaster fan controller.
I have a couple of options but I'd like to know what you think of them all:
1) Spray paint over the Antec 900 side panel window, install sound proofing foam and buy a new power supply;
2) Buy a new larger case, keep power supply and install sound proofing foam in that;
3) Stick with the jumble of wires and attempt to install sound proofing kit in that.
Or any other ideas you might have? Any help would be appreciated as I am in a bit of a pickle!

), would be to move the bottom 2 HDD's up one, and try and shove as many cables in the gap under them. Tie all your cables together continuing the strainght pattern out of the PSU, in one bunch up attaching them to the bottom far HDD mounting screw holes. Then coil any un-neccacary cable under there, tieing it down as you go. As for the cables from the GPU, I would be trying to turn them right as they come away from the GPU, and running them straight down the close side of HDD tray. Then they will be hidden.
