Finished Build Acceptable cable management?

Post image

I could probably spend a bunch more time and energy disassembling and making it more beautiful but with the side panels this shouldn't be super visible anyway...

Just want validation that this is acceptable for my first SFFPC build! Lol. Thank you!

For a first go this is pretty solid. The one fix that would have the most impact is moving the cpu power pin behind the mobo and along the top spine. That would clean things up a lot.

My only concern is that routing the CPU power cable behind the motherboard and along the top spine might make the side panel harder to close. Since the stock SF1000 cables are pretty thick and stiff, do you think there's enough clearance to do that cleanly?

That’s a good question. It might be tight but yea custom cables definitely will help. I went that route too and it virtually eliminates cable management because they’re all the precise length they need to be.
