I just remembered, silly me, when i was done with the computer, if your familiar with the cm690, i took out the hard drive carryers except the one that was in use, and basically used that to shove as many wires ( safly without stretching any) into there. I'm guessing that was a bad idea. I don't really know where to put them tho. Im bad at cable managing and haven't got a chance to straighten it all out down there. Anyone got tips or is it just fine the way it is?

I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that the CM690 has a channel that runs between the motherboard tray and the drive bays. If so that is usually a good place to tuck away any extra psu wires.

I guess i could try that, would it be better then where it is? i think that'd be the bottom left corner of that picture. That's where i put them except without the hard drive carryers. And i like my back end closed ( as in that side ), wouldn't this prevent it.

Nope, it'll close fine as long as the cables are spread out along the back side of the mobo tray like in the above picture. I have a cm 690 and have the cables arranged basically the same way. Having them stuffed in the HDD bay will also restrict airflow from the front intake fan.

The side panel comes with the case if that's what you mean? And no, you don't need to drill anything
