They're nice quality cables, but not worth full price imo. Only thing that bothers me is the heat shrink, but it's not a entirely big deal.  I'd wait until there is a sale on them.

And now i am sitting here, seeing that my cable management sucks ass! :D

 

I found an older pic where it looks surprisingly good imo. The USB 3.0 is bent behind the mobo tray meanwhile. I also don't own that GPU anymore and the wifi card has moved up by one PCIeslot, which means that it's cable also had to go further up.

 

My problem is that i have tons of little stuff. I have two LED strips which end at the back of the PSU and i had to route their cables between PCI slots and PSU (not in this pic) and it worked out quite tidy

 

But i have a fan controller in my 5.25" bay and the cable mess coming from it is ofc really bad (2 fan cables, 3 thermal sensors, power, usb)! i tried make the cables parallel an tie them down but there are so many! :D My DVD drive also worsenes this state.

 

What i absolutltey hate about my build is the region in front of the PSU. The layout of the modular cables is shit and i did my best to route them in a parallel manner. Also all the front panel connectors look shit. I have 3 USB connectors plugged (one more than in pic) which adds clutter.

 

I also thought about plasti dipping those little cables at the end because those rainbow colors are just awful!

 

Sleeving is currently out of my budget. sadly. :D

 

I don't have a pic of my back and don't want to open it tbh. looks terrible anyway.

Here's my contribution. I dont think it's too bad considering it's not modular and it was my first time ever doing CM. Also tiny mobo in big ass case looks stupid, I was 15.

Considering what I had to work with, I'm fairly happy with how my latest upgrade turned out.

I did go slightly OCD with my black tape. And then I ran out of black tape. Curses!

Have an upcoming build, for which I'm hoping to get a much cleaner result.

Too much is never enough.

First real build, this last month. Been in and out of the case a dozen times. Probably a dozen more still. xD

That is redmarkable! Without rubber gromets even! Very nice build!

 

btw. you can make the Audio Boost logo blood red instead of pink-ish by putting red electrical tape on it's inside. Idk if that pink is on purpose or if it's the lightting in the picture. :D

tbh i never use my front USB ports so i went a bit #yolo on it and just bent it with force. It stays almost like this. Then i have strapped it down with a zip tie. :D

who cares...

Yeah I hadn't even really worried about that light. It's less noticable now than it was when I had orange lights in there. lol 

 

The corsair 230t graphite tower I'm using wasn't the..easiest.. thing to manage backside though. >_>
