I just upgraded my case to the Cooler Master HAF X and this case is amazing. I spent about 2-3 hours on the cable management.

How much time do you spend on cable management or is it not important to you?

Might I ask what that fan is on the bottom above the PSU?

@josephLtech, "PCI Fan".... You can pick them up for £~$5-10 online.

Ah, I see. Well, no need to overheat such a beautiful setup I suppose

TBH they don't do much but make extra noise :P

The model of the pci slot fan is an Evercool SB-F1 $8.99. Had it for about a year but it's starting to make a loud noise so I'm going to replace it.

Well, I never built a PC before from scratch, however, I setup my desk and I spent almost no time on cable management. It doesn't bother me too much.

Lol, same here. My cables are a mess.

Lol behind the desk is a different story. I wish all devices were wireless! There was a guy who came up with plans for a power grid that was wireless...someone should look into that.

Dang, that looks nice. If I still had my PC I would really have loved to clean out its cables a bit. But it was a stock case with upgraded parts so... not really easy to manage cables. I spent maybe ten minutes since there weren't many options on it. All I could do was push things out of the way. But if I ever build one I will get a case much like you have because I am a little OCD about cables. It was like Steve Job's old saying, "You can't see it but you know it's there."

Post a picture of it. I think cable management for the desk is just as important as the case.

Few hours.

Bit messy at the top. Waiting for some more cable to come for fans.
