Hey guys, before i begin yo build my rigs, i want to know some tips to make a good cable management setup.

 

What's your tips ? 

Do you know any video about it ? 

 

Thank's

Make sure you buy a decent case. Fully modular PSUs help a lot. Make sure your case has lots of cable management holes. For effectiveness, dont buy a mATX motherboard

There's nothing wrong with an mATX board. But an mATX board will generally not look very good in an ATX case.

I have one and it's horrible for cable management. I'm talking about cable management holes at the side with the mATX headers at the bottom of the motherboard

Pick a better case, there are plenty of cases with cable management holes along the bottom as well, that's not exclusive to ATX.

Use a lot of zip ties. If your lazy about cable management, you could find a dual chambered case instead.

I'm looking for a mAtx motherboard but with the Corsair 350d who like prety nice for cable management

There's not THAT much space back there, even though there is. The 24pin makes the middle of the panel bode out just a tiny bit. There's a decent amount of tie down points in the back, so that will help out with cable management.

Ummm, there's quite a bit of space behind the tray in the 350D. It's actually incredibly easy to cable manage in.

I know there is, but for someone who is very OCD about very nice cable management, there isn't. I've spent roughly 10-12 hours cable managing in the past 2-3 years.
