Mounted Cable Combs for Custom Sleeved Cables

[StormRio]

Hello Everyone! 

 

I am thinking about getting into a custom build over the summer, like seriously custom. I am willing to put all of the time and effort it takes to do everything I plan on doing

(custom sleeving, hard tube liquid cooling, lighting, whathaveyou). In regards to the cable management anyway, I've hit a bit of a snag in the planning process.

I want to sleeve my own OEM PSU cables and cut them to specific lengths depending on what connectors are where. My problem is that the way I intend to do this would be

to use something like a mountable cable comb in order to route the cables along the backside of the motherboard tray, and I can find no such piece. Has anyone ever tried

this before, and do you know what kind of fastener I'm talking about? Or perhaps a better way to go about this task?

 

I have included a basic drawing of the way I intend to measure cable length in hopes that it will do a much better job at explaining what I want to do.

 

Thanks in advance!

These are the best for cable managing individually sleeved cables, flat cable clamps, I personally use them on my own system works awesome!

 

They come in a variety of sizes:

Those look really nice! (And nice and cheap too!)

 

This is basically what I am looking for, except with holes or a little comb or something. 

Thanks for your response!

It does lack separation slots but once you train the cables a bit they will stay in order very well as long as it's the correct size of cable clamp is used.

Yeah flat clamps would be easiest. 

 

A note on cable length though. If you wanna have the cables make turns remember to cut the cables toward the inside of the curve shorter than cables on the outside for the cleanest looking turns.

 

If you're gonna put this much effort into the rear (side?) of the case maybe put a window there to showoff the work

That's a fantastic idea, and i'll definitely look into it!
