Yeah I think I redid my cable management about 4 times before I got it to where I like it, the backside still looks like garbage but I never look back there so I don't really care tongue.gif

If I have some time I might paracord sleeve the PSU sometime too.

my problem is I got a quality 620W PSU for $30 after rebates but it isn't modular.... It does look better than in that pic now but I am still not 100% happy. Oh well I can never be happy about somethings biggrin.gif

Yeah i'll admit not having a modular kinda sucks, I only have 4 cables plugged into my PSU so its easy to hide them.

Plus, $30 for a PSU is insanly cheap lol, I think my 750 on sale was like $130. I'd take a non modular for that price too.

You could use a nutsert tool for a much more professional "finished" look. Great mod either way! If you can pop rivet, you can use a nutsert.
