I did this to my own 900€ budget build and it has been running fine for 4 years without touching it. It only becomes a real issue when your psu gives in and most of the time psus outlast the other components. I also build my non techhead friends builds like this so they can easily and confidently clean the computers insides without the fear of breaking something or unplugging a cable. Dust has been the main pc killer around my circles and doing this has made people who never clean their builds into people who actually maintain their systems. (60% success rate)
@@yourbigfan1777 Some cases have such good air filtration that it isn't necessary. I haven't needed to clean the inside of my PC in 4 years, and the dust is still very minimal.
@@jamescollins6085 ahhh yesss and that termal paste is more like a brick. Wait 1 or 2 years and you'll be able to add it into cement with that consistency :))
I use mostly velcro band, its way more practical when you need to change or ad something, and it somehow gives the whole cable Management a clean vibe.
I just use zip ties in the bending and corners to hold them in their place. There's absolutely no need to use zip ties on straight cables that will be covered anyway
@@jackgrylls1554 it's good cable management much better then yours plus to get them all off tops it would take 2 minutes buddy then 5 getting them back on and it looks this neat I would pay to see your cables though
@@jackgrylls1554 bro 1000 zip ties cost like 20 bucks he used 31 he's bot changing stuff daily it would legit take a life time to use them all on a single pc
I work in data and a small but useful step after ziptie management is filing those clipped ends just a bit to remove sharpness, saves your fingers and possibly even cables from mishaps in the future. Not necessary definitely but ultimately still useful.
I’m a let y’all gaming PC people on a secret since I’m also one but I also used to be an electrician. Go buy solid number 18 gauge wire single strand. It comes in a multitude of colors. Then in a candy cane fashion wrap your cables together it looks sick. At the end do three wraps tightly bound and cut and tuck the end under the 3 wraps. Now you have cool bundles of cable that you can loosen and add more or remove cable loosening the wire wrap. You can even do this in small sections. This is something I do with big switch racks.
Works like a charm. I do this for my television cable management. Easy to undo if you need to change things out or add another console or media device.
Those will cut you. I learned from an old school electrician you grab the long part at the base of the zip with a pair of pliers and twist until it breaks off. No sharp edge.
Could achieve the same result with 50% less zip ties.. Practical and good looking cable management is always super.. But this goes to the point of becoming unpractical and just thinking of upgrades, part swaps along with rewiring became a nightmare xD
