its a decent set up, maybe you could try and sort out cable management but other than that very nice

Haha dude, redo it. You will thank your self.

You could've done a better job with cable management. The case doesn't seem like the best out there, but there must be a way to tuck the unused PSU cables behind the motherboard plate for example.

The fan on the top (the one that is clearly visible) - does it blow air in? If yes, I'd turn it around and look for a way to fit an intake fan below or in front of the HDDs.

10 minutes of cable management should help it look better.

It should treat you well.

yeah with a case with a side panel having cables looking like that is a shame, spend a few minutes get yourself some wire ties and push a smuch of that junk behind the mobo as you can

The case was cheap this was built on a budget theres a 120mm fan blowing through the front and another exhausting out the rear plus one blowing Down on the cpu cooler and graphics card
