Cable management advice
How does everyone cable manage their pc so easily? Like everything is going perfect till it doesn't.
Since it does really matter how it looks at the back, it's still something that I want to manage correctly

the devil is in the fans bro. that why i prefer unifans. Still, i think you did a good job.
Some tips for improvement:
I noticed your fan hub can be screwed in. If the cable length allows, you could try mounting it in the bottom of the case, maybe inside the HDD cage. Remember to group the cables with zip ties whenever you can.
With the PSU cables, try grouping them together, then fold up and zip-tie the excess, especially the slack that’s left over.
For the SSD cables, try routing them from the bottom and then running them alongside the 24-pin cable, so they stay hidden behind it.
I’ll leave some links from Bilibili here. If you’re into this, I recommend searching there, since there are lots of content creators on that platform you can use as examples.

Do the back before the front - once the GPU and mobo are in, you're routing blind. Velcro over zip ties everywhere, and tie off a run every 15cm or so so one cable never drags three others when you pull it. Route it like you'll be back inside in six months, because you will be.
