Okay so the Cougar MX 330G has no grommets and the disgusting cables in the back can be seen, is it possible to make my own DIY cable managemenr bar? 

 

it's either that or i try and make my own grommets.

You can buy grommets. Both Bill at @Mnpctech and modmymods have rubber grommets based on the size you might need.

I see. In that case, I'll move this thread to Case modding and Other Mods to best reflect the type of answer you need :)

maybe I should make a separate thread for this, but I've had such a hard time finding soft rubber grommets (with membranes) in any variety of sizes - the circular grommets here look pretty good, but only come in one size. for building custom cases or cabinets I'd definitely want to be able to source larger grommets as well. do you know of any other good suppliers?

 

@KENBAL420 I'm interested in seeing what solution you end up going with, I've been doing some mods to my living room media furniture and I'm looking for more cable management ideas.

Not of various sizes. I just knew these two were good sources for most rectangular cutouts that cheaper cases lack. Sorry :(

I found this video online and i'll maybe give it a shot. I can't get rubber grommets in my area so a DIY solution would be the best route for me to go.
