    I own a 1080p 27" screen, and I can almost count the pixels... so my advice is a 24" 1080p screen or go 1440p

    Nice job for a beginner, but some things I would do is zip tie the excess cable lengths to the inside face of the optical drive bays and have each cable only come out where it's needed. Then have the front audio and USB cables tucked under the motherboard if it fits (I've done this on a family members pc and it works fine, oh, and cut off the AC97 audio connector, it's useless) Then I'd replace the hard drive SATA cable with as short a length as you can find, you can get 15cm ones that would get rid of most of the excess cabling.

    Another thing I would do is zip tie the GPU cables to the back of the card so that they come straight down to the motherboard and then straight out to the drive bays and up to the PSU. (If that's not possible, then just go straight out to the drive bays instead)

    Also route as many fan cables along the case edges as possible, and remove any molex cables if possible, you've got one sticking out of the drive bays, if you can't unplug them cause you're using them, then you can zip tie the excess ones to the inside of the drive bays.

    You could make it look like there's almost no cables at all despite the lack of cable routing options, a lot of people seem to whine about lack of cable routing on older cases, but honestly there's so much you can do with cases if you take the time to do it right.

    One more thing, if you can fit them up there, then you can always stuff excess cables in between the top of the DVD drive and the case roof, that's honestly the easiest thing to do with cable excess.

    Still, you've done a pretty decent job nonetheless, and it's a big improvement on what your dad did

    Hello guys,
     
    Two years ago, I've bought myself a mid-range gaming PC. I've built it with my father, since it was my first home made PC ever. My father did the cable management. Today, I've cleaned all the mess up. I've removed the dust, and I've redone the cable management. I was wondering if I did a good job, because I've never done something like this before 
     
    This case does not have any cable management on the back.

    And this is what I've done today:

     

     

     
     
    Thank you for your opinion!
     
    Kind regards,

    No problem. That's what I do as a good LTT forum member

    Perhaps ,that would be +1 pressure and work with convection.
    1 problem though. Bottom intake is most probably not filtered ==> dust.
     
    I think any config will grant you great results. The delta should only be 1/2 degrees celsius.
    That's basically margin or error.
