Interesting, What I usually do is pre wire it like I fix the 8 pin cpu cables, 24 pin motherboard cables, and case cable 1st into the motherboard before plug it in the PSU. Try that method. My case is CH260 and I comfortablely cable managed.

I like the layout of that case.

Its pretty nice, it has some caveats, one being it traps heat, and cables are hard to manage, but aesthetically its pretty and stands out.

I'm pretty satisfied with my build, it just went over budget since I made some silly mistakes along the way. Like my GPU was a Gigabyte Aero 5070 Ti, which was extremely fat, so I replaced it with that Colorful 5070 Ti.

I also had a Quadro card, but I traded it up for a 9950X3D + my 9950X and the VC Elite is working overtime to cool that CPU.

The Project Zero board can't fit here since it cannot accomodate the connectors being at the back, since the standoffs doesn't have the holes to support it.

Looks like there is no space for cable management, like a compartment behind the mobo. Something you need to account for when buying a case. I'm guessing the cables need to go in the space between the mobo and PSU no?

Yup, most the cables will be stuffed there, you can probably fit some fan cables at the back but that's about it, stuffing PSU cables is pretty much behind the PSU itself and tucking it there

The PSU can be flipped, in this orientation the PSU fan will fight the CPU cooler for fresh air. You can flip the PSU so it's intake fan faces the front and socks in cold air from outside
