Well after about an hour of playing around with the cables I'm actually really happy with how it turned out. It's not perfect, but I think you'll agree it's definitely an improvement.

I've got a Thermaltake Chaser A21 and I've recently been told by a friend that my cable management is "disgusting", so I decided to have a look at what I can do with it but I'm completely clueless. There are no holes inside the case through to the back, as far as I can see so I don't know how else to route them.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Oh, so zip tie them around the hard drive mounts at the back?

It will rather not work, just look at how narrow there is in the back. Probably enough space only to close the panel.

 

My idea is to put all the cables is 5.25" and HDD/SSD cages.

And use zipties. 

A lot of them.

Good thinking, I'm going to have a play around with it soon, so I'll see what works.
