Cable Management...

This is my first build and I feel like everything went smoothly except for my cable management. Is this as bad as I think it is or am I just being picky?

Nah that actually looks good. Tbh the backside doesn't really matter too much unless that side has a glass panel but in terms of organization I'd say you're fine. I'm just happy if the main part of my case looks good, cba about the back.

My personal rule is the back of the motherboard doesn’t count unless you need to squash stuff.  Cable management is useful because it affects airflow and noise.  Those all happen on the OTHER side though.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

One of my concerns is the cables running down the back of the motherboard. They don’t seem to hit anything so i l left them in place.
