Just about time to pull out the air compressor again

Cable management is a two edged sword. get it all perfect, and it looks great. Then find you need to move a component, or replace something and you cannot move it a fraction of an inch.. :)

This is the second time you've made this statement concerning a post of mine. This will be the second time I tell you it's not an issue if done right. It's not that hard. And removing the power supply is a piece of cake if using a modular one - simply disconnect the cables from the PS and remove it (been there done that). And what's so hard about disconnecting a cable from a component for removal? :cautious:

It's only an issue if you make it an issue ;-)

My thoughts are, do it however you like it, personally, I'm changing things in and out to much to have a nice cable managed PC. I'm not a sloppy person nor am I OCD, in the PC building world, one size does not fit all. :-)

I've never done cable management because it was "crucial", I do it for pride, cleanliness, and organization. That's me ;-)

I'm also the person who likes to look inside stereo equipment and note how organized and clean it is. For me, it speaks quality and craftmanship. If I see wires flailing all over the place cheap and lazy comes to mind. That's also me :-)

If my Case was setting where people could see inside it, I would take the time and do cable management, but the glass is hidden, because I have no other way to set it up (I'm in a small room). . Now, when I get my own apartment, you bet your butt i'll have everything set up the way I want it. . lol. I'm waiting for my disability to get signed, then I'll be able to get my own apartment. . I'll have 2 bedrooms, then I'll be able to set up a green screen and everything. . It's going to be a blast!

I'd love to have a setup like that. Soon, I might be able to. I need a TV setting like that so I can watch sports while setting at the PC. . lol

That desktop was brown, did you change the hue or is it some sort of photographic wizardry? It looks Blue.

Most of the displays are set to Vivid, they don't photograph well in certain light. The 4K up top is set to Soft for watching movies.

@Dru2 That thing is an absolute work of art and i can only dream. And lit up, it looks like something out of a futuristic movie.
I definitely think when it comes to clean,neat, and beautiful, you take the prize. You built something to be proud of.

Thanks, @glasskuter, I do take pride in all my builds and I'm extremely happy with that one. But honestly, I'm not doing anything anyone else can't do; it just takes commitment. And trust me, I've seen builds that makes mine look pedestrian.

Anyway, it's also why I enjoy building as it's part art. I want to build a custom water-cooled PC, but that's an expense I'm not ready for yet.

As for cleaning, I just do it once every 4 months, but that's also part of my routine checks when I go inside the PC to check stuff, to include checking my AIO isn't leaking. But this is something I've been doing since I got into computers in 1998. Also, because I was an aircraft mechanic, routine maintenance is habit. It also helps in keeping and maintaining cars :-)

I've never done cable management because it was "crucial", I do it for pride, cleanliness, and organization. That's me ;-)

I'm also the person who likes to look inside stereo equipment and note how organized and clean it is. For me, it speaks quality and craftmanship. If I see wires flailing all over the place cheap and lazy comes to mind. That's also me :-)

And that perfectly fine, I just don't need mine ready to go into the museum of fine arts, I like it to look like it's used, really used. :-)
