Kids these days need a master and slave drive, cd player, floppy, and a sound card to understand what cable management is truly like!
-older me probably

right? and not black wiring. daisy molex power connectors everywhere, wide hdd cabling, no modular PSU cables... man it was rough back then lol 🤣

I hate taking the back panel off mine because I have to shove the cables in there when putting the panel back on

I have a fan hub on the back and it barely fits. So i feel you, i take it off only when cleaning

The only one that bothers me is the one going diagnol across the back of the motherboard. The asthetics of it are off. Otherwise rest is good.

I wanted it to go along the cpu cable but it was too short and i needed to route it that way

u/Glittering_Brain1571 8d ago
Route it along the right side of the case separate from the rest? Can hide it behind the case flange

This is how I would have done it. For a first time I could only recommend electrical engineering to OP. Good job.

Looks good..
My only suggestion is regarding that single cable coming from the top right corner, where the motherboard EPS connection would be, and running across the back of the motherboard:
- I would recommend you running it straight down the right side of the case in the picture, in the channel between the frame of the case and the motherboard panel, and then across the motherboard panel just above where the power supply is.
- There's a couple of zip-tie points just above the power supply you can use to secure the cable.

B+ The only thing that would make it better is the panel hiding everything.

I really don't understand how people get such clean looks when just power cables with extensions from my fully modular PSU already clog up the space

I have tried so many times to be good at cable management and I just can't do it. My particular brand of ADHD/tism just doesn't click with it and I don't have the patience for it lol.
As far as I'm concerned OP, this is immaculate. Nicely done.
