None of what he says makes any sense though.

Yeah, since when has physics come into IT? :L
Physics has always been part of IT. But the case he's trying to argue makes no sense in a general desktop setting.
Also fyi btw I'm fluffy, Im begging you to forget about fluffy. I'm really not in the mood to even go there again :/
I'm begging you not to ban me again, pleaseee. And you don't even need to bother replying to this. I'm not even gonna say anymore tbh. I'm just gonna prove I'll behave. Sorry for my previous behaviour.
It's been ages voyagerfan99.! Can you please leave this account alone. I don't see what harm could be done by giving me a last chance tbh

Stay on topic. If you didn't want to get banned, you shouldn't have mentioned this is a duplicate account.
That or created the other thread with my name as the title. I still don't know why you want to be here so bad.

What a pain it was. I finally decided I need to take time to do some dusting, cleaning, and CABLE MANAGEMENT. Just the thought how bad it was made me cringe. So after everything was out and fans were cleaned ( dust was so bad holy .... ) I want to figure out how I can hide the majority of cables... Then I went to grab my mobo manual and found out somehow I lost it even though I had t 2 days ago. I finally got a PDF of the manual online.
All that build is missing is meaner looking GPU, PSU with sleeved cables, and a few more drives to fill in the empty slots
Oh and also a new FULL size case, this is only a med size and makes cable management a real pain.

That cable management though

Moving to a full size case won't make cable management any better. It all depends on the case itself. If it's a low end case, cable management will be crap. My case is a mid-tower and I have no issue with cable management.

So beautiful
My case was like $25? Somewhere around there. Was very cheap. Best I could get for the price, still cheap.
That's your problem. Spend around $100 on a nice mid-tower and you'll be much better off.
Voyager I wouldn't be so proud of that ''cable management'' if I were you lol.
In the green circle, those could all be tied together for a clean look. In the red circle, those wires should be tucked under the VRM heatsinks to hide them. The blue circle, just a cable laying there for no reason. And then of course there's the WTF cable running to the back of your PC. It's one thing to just say that a good case can make cable management a lot better, then it's another thing to still suck at cable management with a good case LOL. And BTW you do realize that you card leaning down like that puts bad stress on the x16 port and will eventually short it out right? Do yourself a favor and get a card support bracket of some sort, or ditch those stupid tool-less snaps that don't really hold the card in and screw it on.
The biggest step to cable management is a modular power supply. A good case is second, but not absolutely mandatory to atleast having half decent looking cable management.
Having things zip tied together, everything uniform, is the biggest key to a clean look.
This was a $40 case that didn't have the greatest cable management, but looks 1/2 decent. But notice the cables at the top right, keeping them all tight together gives a clean look. But like I said a modular power supply is pretty much mandatory for a clean look. If I had 3-4 more cables, it would have completely crapped up that build because I already have almost no where to put the cables that I did use.
And then I'll show a build I did of a case with good cable management, this was an $80 case IIRC-

The "WTF" cable is the rear fan cable. There's nowhere to run it, so I run it along the back side of the case.
The card bends slightly downward due to the Clear CMOS button cap.
Also, you don't need to sound like a dick when you critique people.
I'll be stripping the entire thing down to give it its bi-annual cleaning. Maybe once I finish it will meet with "the masters" approval.
Are you saying the rear 120mm fan? If so there's 2 options. First, you could have removed the bottom expansion slot bracket and just ran it out the case there. Second, you can actually fit a cable that small up underneath your expansion cards very close to the end of the case, there's a gap there between the motherboard and your cards. Here's a pic to help show you where I mean-
Thats a bad reason, bending the PCB of the card like that is also bad for shorting out circuits prematurely. Doesn't the cap come off? It's only like 1/8'' above the sata ports, thats enough to conflict with the card?

Running fan cables around heatsinks is a really good idea, it made my build tons neater.
My next case is an NZXT h440. Beautiful and great cable management

:good:
Matthew, its his computer for gods sake. I didnt notice a single cable issue. If you dont want to have a single cable in sight do it in your own computer. The only odd thing I noticed was the leaning gpu lol.
And yes you came off as a total dick.

Blind in one eye and can't see out the other? I pointed them out clearly.
I was replying to the statement(s) he made concerning cable management. He gave his opinion, I corrected it with fact.
I don't care, the truth is the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts, but IMO it's the two faced lies that hurt more.....by telling someone their PC looks great when you actually know it's not. Sorry I don't lie, I don't just tell people what they want to hear. If I critique someone about something I better damn well know how to do it well myself. After all, the whole point of this thread is to show your PC to see what other people think. My opinion is that the cable management isn't that great, but the fact that he thinks it is made me point out the flaws so he can improve!

I never said it was phenomenal. Most of the time the side panel is hidden on the side of the desk anyway, so nobody ever sees it. Airflow is fine, so I haven't been nit picky about it.
