The case has like no space behind the board. Worse with sleeved cables, but I like it

i did near perfect cable management in an antec case that didnt even have places to tie the cables to.

 

it was stuffed with hardware as well.

This^ The Silverstone FT05 I just got has minimal room for cable management. Can't see one unless it's connected to the motherboard. Same with an old NZXT case. ZERO room for management. Cable ties made them invisible, even with an almost full side-panel window.

 

Sorry for being so picky, it's just the style I like to have. More respectable. I take pride in a clean case. Doesn't mean you have to. But it does mean I will point it out if I see it.

My trick is to stuff extra cables above the cd drive or in unused bays

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

When I have my build in a case w/o space behind the mobo tray, I'll shove everything on top of the CD drives ( I like them in the bottom two slots) and only run what I need down to the bottom, and hide the SATA cables behind my GPU(s if there are two)

 

I'm so spoiled with my Air 540. There's buckets of space behind the mobo tray...

i got this in without the sound card and USB card, and with the VGA card in the bottom most pci slot. everything above that was cablemess.

(the second hard drive was also a personal addition, i needed more than a singular gigabyte)

the entire thing was one net of dust, all clogged up.

 

thats an afternoon of cable management, and a week of letting the cables set in shape.

meanwhile my cable management looks like literal shit but is actaully suuuuper good. x'D cosidering there isnt even room for a piece of paper behind the mainboard panel, and there is no where to stuff shit.

im serious i cringe at it too, but its actually two perfect channels for air, if i could give a 3d tour in software or something you'd understand. xP

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.
