My cable management is so bad I can’t close my case but I don’t care

    I always started out “Imma hide all these cables and make the insides perfect!”

    By the time I’d run all the power, fan, IDE, front case, USB, etc. I was like fuckit, I just want to get this thing running. Half-assed jammed the cables out of the way or behind the case ITX backing. Looks like shit, put the case side back on, off I go.

    Lots easier now with far fewer cables to be run, cases offer more space behind the mobo for hiding cables and not the 3/4” of space they used to offer.

      That’s why I only use cube cases nowadays. Just shove all cables into the back and you’re done.
