So i have a modular PSU (corsair CX750M) And ive got things pretty neat, aside from the only cable that is not modular. aka the main mobo plug, that thick black mesh behemoth. It just refuses to fit behind the mobo with the other cables, and it really mucks up the look. And on top of that even though the other cables are routed around back and only come out to plug into where they need to be, it still feels cluttered. What am i doing wrong? And how can i get rid of that big bulky main cord :c

They arent tangled..... everything goes neatly around back, theres just no room for the main power cable.

Maybe a "Multisleeve 24-Pin ATX Extension Cable"? Looks nice for what I'd get to go behind my tray as well...
