I should’ve entered into Bitwit's Pimp My Rig

For horror movie enthusiasts out there, have a look at my system. Shield your children's eyes. Beware! 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, I really can’t cable manage. There is literally nowhere to put all the cables. I can’t even close the case! 

 

I totally should have entered Bitwit's Pimp My Rig. 

 

*facepalm

that's uhhhhhhh

 

a lotta cable.

 

Though I see that your 5.25" drive bays are open? if you grab some zip ties you could probably tuck some of the extra length into there, as well as you 2.5" drive. I imagine it'd make it a whole lot better. Take an hour or so to just unplug everything in the case and tuck away what you can in that space.

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

how old is this system? it looks extremely old, like pre 2010, except for the Graphics Card and PSU

i mean, seems fixable

 

first step: throw away the cx500 for a semi-modular psu

 

hide all your cables in the 5,25 bays

 

done

ah, the spec-04

 

if you're in Europe, you should look into the cooler master mb511 rgb, it's great for ~65 bucks

Honestly I’m thinking it might be better to take it all out and put it on a cardboard box.
