jugno bhai, yes the wires can be seen, but let me tell you

the USB cables needed to be routed like that, all connectors are on the fromt of the mobo
the fan cable coming across, is needed (as i will not modify that) into a unit, i will explain laer

the PSU cable and other cables are routed under the mobo, panel, the reason why you see that ATX cable sticking out in the edge is (reasons below)

i have a unit, which extends 02 or with adaptors, any amount or size of fans to keep running after the system has been switched off, now since i needed a fan at the back, side panel and rear to keep rotating for 10 min after complete power off, the adaptor needs a WOL like connector feeding off the ATX mobo conn. and the fans (whose cable length is surely not that long, to keep this unit hidden, ergo the cables you can see,

the card reader is indeed from a CM casing, but from the older Cenurion 5 TAC casing, so yeah in parts iti is, but not as a bundle with the 690
