Do me a favor and rate my cable management, my first build :3 didnt expect it to be done this year. The case was awesome, its bombastic and also minimalist, kinda like cooler master but different, i dont like it to be super plain and boring so i choose dazumba and its actually pretty good...

Things i acknowledge:

  1. Color Theme crash festival.. the board, the gpu, and the cpu cooler is blue(led) but the case fans are red led, so it kinda clashes
  2. Useless SATA HDD Dock, and it can Hotswap. On top of the case(search the image, i cant post it)

WOHOO i cant believe i made it to the upgrade date.. wow so excited...

 

UPDATE:

A big thing came in the mail, wide thing. My. My... MY MONITOR! LG 22M35, 21.5 INCH MONITOR, UNGGGGH FEELS SO GOOD. I CAN FEEL THE 1080P FLOWING THROUGH MY EYE VEINS!

Cable management is not very good (no offense) but it looks like it is the fault of the case not you. Great build though and welcome to PC gaming :D

By the looks of it not that bad for what you can do with that case.

But what the hell is wrong with those HDD sleds.

I know right, it looks like...-a not subtle design, "just put sniper crosshair on the HDD Slot, that'll say HDD for sure!"

There is 1cm nudge for cable management but how could it be done with lots of cable?! my case has very little cable managing holes on it so yh.. But damn it looks good from the outside

Not bad, although the cable management is iffy. Still not bad for a case that didn't have cable management in mind.

It has cable management in mind.. but about 30%.. it has a 1cm wide side of panel, but little holes. Also the fan control = USELESS

Those holes do actually serve a purpose, albeit a relatively pointless one. The holes are there so you an install a fan in one of the sleds just in case you wanted to fuck up your case's airflow and cool a HDD a bit.

You can see that there is a space between one slot and another, that is the only space which i can install a fan to the hdd's. other than that space theres no more slot for fans for the hdd slot
