Fractal Design R3 cable routing question.

Post by kuzzia » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:11 am

How much width is there for cables behind the mo-bo tray? Can any owners of the case measure that?

It would be deeply appreciated.

Hello my friend, all the cables were ok except one, check my answer on my review, i had to buy an extension (black cable on the picture) to hide it :

~16 or 17mm, depending on where you measure from. Some of our cabling/connector bundles extend ~20mm out when the side is off and they compress without deforming the side panel at all. More than enough room for the power cables etc.

Justice99, thank you for showing some pictures of it too.

And Jim G, thank you for measuring the width and explaining that power cables can be squeezed/compressed without bending the side panel.
