Ribbon Cable Summary
You’ve connected the floppy,
hard drive, and CD-RW ribbon cables. Each cable can be pushed out of
the way so that it doesn’t hit fans, the mainboard, etc. Figure 101
shows pushing cables into the empty 5.25” bay area. It’s good
to have your cables out of the way of anything that gets especially
hot, such as heatsinks. Some people will bundle their cables together
to make the inside neater, but most builders just let all the cables
hang out and have a good time.
