Having that same case, I have to ask what’s it look like under the removable shield in the back. Mine is a hot mess under there.

Because I have a SFF PC, and the hardware won’t fit properly unless I cable manage. lol

Since I’m currently in the process of creating a new build, I’m waiting for the stuff coming from abroad. Frankly, the back of the case has arabic hair lol..
By the way, congratulations on a really great wiring.

On the front side of the pc, obviously hide as much as possible and bend them nicely to look nice.
The backside looks okay, it’s more keeping them in nice channels going to where they need to go, but separate enough that it is easy to replace components.
Imo yours is too much, nobody will see thoose cables and looks like it would be difficult to replace parts without re doing all of that cable management.

I can’t because waranty sickers (the waranty helped me replace the fried motherboard for fee and sill hava a year and a bit)
Since im happy with my build for the next few years i figured i might aswell do the cables semi nice

My motivation is being able to close the side panel lol. The argb and fan cables are just a pita. Next time I build a system I might go for Lian li Uni fans lol
I have the same case and it’s a nightmare behind that back panel, especially behind that Lian Li/Der Bauer badge
Vaseth-30kRS-iron
my motivation is that and loops cause electromagnetic fields that cause interference currents
point of note though, dont over do it, as bending a cable too tightly actually creates heating in the cable and slowdown of the data (albeit it marginally) but PC ‘s are all about getting those margins down
before you ask, the little white thing is a bag of silicone from some electronic thing i got to help keep out moisture when its turned off
and yes, i know the back mounted SDD is unplugged, its supposed to be, as its my back up drive, and i prefer to leave it disconnected when not in use 🙂

Nothing.
Function over form. If it works – don’t touch it. If the case closes successfully and it works – great work, feel free to enjoy your games.

Replacing components. This was the first rig I ever built, and I was in awe of the channeling features of the case. No more squeezing my hand into a cluster of wires trying to change something. The only thing that sucks cable-wise is all the damn fan wires going into the fan hub. Does anybody have any advice on how to manage all those thin wires?

My OCD
screwwindows
I do it somewhat reasonable one time when building or upgrading, apart from that i use the machine and idk about cable management after its once done

Function first, form second. I don’t have a pic. I’ll have my cables routed in a way that lets me work on it with ease and then tweak to look better. These newer cases are really helpful, too, as the cables can be hidden behind panels and covers.
I had a crap load of zip-ties I needed to get rid of😂

I have a 5000d, from the glass side it’s clean wirh cables that go back through the grommets. In the back everything is routed through the spaces alotted and with velcro. Not extremely neat, but not the rats nest of 10 years ago

As long as the case is closed, all good
