Cable Management? Help?

[TheNaitsyrk]

I have Thermaltake X5 Green RiING edition case. Is there any shroud or anything that I could strap to the bottom of the case to hide the cables? Looks terrible. I tried spiral cable wraps but I don't have enough and I'm not sure if it's worth getting more.

For a shroud you could purchase a piece of acrylic and cut it to size to act as a shroud, looks to be a lot of mounting points and options to easily facilitate that in the case.

I didn't ask for an opinion on how it looks and why it looks like that. I asked if there is any contraption which hides them.

I was hoping I could purchase some metal cover that maybe already exist? I'm not too sure. I was thinking of something that covers the PSU like in Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. I was also thinking of zip-tying the entire cable bulk.

If it didn't come with one from the manufacture it's very unlikely there will be a pre-done unit for that unless it was custom fabricated. Personally I would leave the cables as is without the spiral wrap as they are already sleeved.

You can get cable combs if that is the case to keep them in place and hold their shape.

Not exactly sure what your going for then but they do work to keep the shape of the individual wires.

They work for main 24 pin, nothing else. I just want to hide the cables, make them look like they are one. Make it look neat?

Oh they aren't designed for that but yeah if you wanted the cables to be in a bundle them together then that would be a different style.

I bought 5m of Velcro strap. It should do the job.

Split PET is better then that spiral wrap, same price too.

Could also use zip ties.

Also hard plastic is available, but they are not split lengthwise.

in your case the wires arent so bad but as a horizontal cube owner i feel ya, i had to make a lower bay cover for my x-qber out of 22g steel and used split loom to cover the wires, you could also straight up replace the window with a solid color acrylic

I would also say, go with plastic cover. It's cheap and easy to work with tools that probabl everyone has around unlike metal with which you need metal working tools. Even with thicker plastic you can easily cut it (using saw) and file the sides smooth (preferably use sandpaper to ease the work to get smooth and even outcome), you can even get few different grit  sandpaper and polish the edges to get as close as possible metallic look. And for color there's a lot of options today, you can even get green plastic near the color of your case or just go to some hardware store with a lot of paints and ask paints (preferably spraypaints) that can be used with the plastic you get, just take care that you remember excatly what plastic you are using because there's a lot of paints that melt some plastics but can be used with others. IF you worry about the color get PC/ABS plastic sheet to work with, because then you can use most of the car paints on it (PC/ABS plastic is commonly used in car bumpers).
