How to clean up cables at the bottom of the motherboard?

[Baptiste Wicht]

Hi guys

 

Overall, my case looks relatively clean. But the main exception is all the cables at the bottom of the motherboard (several USB headers, several fans, RGB headers, the front-panel connectors, ...). 

 

I don't really know how to clean/hide these cables. I don't want to change the motherboard to have them in a better place.  I also cannot drill in the backplate because there is another motherboard on the other side (dual-system case, WP200). 

 

I have attached some pictures.

 

Does anybody has a good idea on how to clean this mess?

 

Thanks!

Bundle the wires up with some zipties and route the bundle through one of the holes.

can get cable sleeves or DIY make your own using some rubber or rubber mat + velcro.

i have that case and im putting a peace of plexy on the side were ill mount my res and vertical gpu to but there will be a gap between the mb tray and plexy.

 

i seen some one use a pipe from top to bottem

you can send them out the bottom and up the front buy cutting  a bit. the front has a pannale you can hide cable behind but you will have to make extensions.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try to sleeve them together and possibly add an extra hole to pass some in a nicer way!

Unfortunately, I can't because there is a second MB behind some of these holes.

This is a dual-system case. I have two computers running in it.

But you can!

The other MB is removable and it looks like all those cables, except the pcie, will fit under that MB.

Yes, it is. But removing it means unplugging the GPU on the second MB and its cables, unscrewing the backplate and then finally moving it. This will make it highly inconvenient to do any changes. But you are right,. it's indeed possible.

Grouping them in two groups sounds very reasonable, I will try this!
