cable management is horrible, makes a waste of the HAF X

@FedoraFTW Do you mean the case itself or my particular setup? In my setup I have only one cord visible and that's because it's not long enough to loop it around back. Other than that, all over cords are hidden behind the baseplate for the motherboard. It's actually really great, especially since they included a plastic piece to cover all of the cords coming off of the power supply on the bottom. I love it, and it's great cable management for me.

@FoxeoVideos oh alright, in the vid you can see cords everywhere. i plan on buying this case

@FedoraFTW Really? I'm not sure how you can see "cords everywhere" since they are all behind the motherboard base plate and hidden. The only visible cord to the front is the one power cable to the motherboard. Other than that, the only thing you can see is the very beginning of the cord as it is threaded into the back, but that's how it works with any case.

@craig20vt I've heard of it. I watch almost all movies with my wife, and I don't think she'd be interested in that one.

@darkrobroy14 Not at all. I have a beautiful wife, and I'm lucky to have found her. We both value exercise and (generally) healthy eating habits. Being overweight is a huge burden on a person's body, and causes quality of life issues.

@FoxeoVideos couldn't you have route you cord behind your mobo itself? or didn't you use standoffs?
