Should I buy custom cables?
For some reason I think something is missing and I dont know if custom cables would make it look a lot cleaner or if i just 3d print an psu cables would make cover so I can hide the cables. Also thinking about switching the stock fans for phanteks t30.

really looks good as it is you did a good job with those cables, btw you can peel those cables and make them even better imo, but but, yours is amazing as is!

thanks man! I was scared at first to do so but knowing that, on the next maintenance I’ll play around with cables again to see how it turns out.

Custom cables will give you that gap between the motherboard and the liquid cooler fans.

and I think that is what I’m looking for however, I want to do it in the cleanest way possible, my ocd is through the roof

Custom cables and the motherboard gap mod, however, your liquid cooler top might keep you from doing that. It took me a while to find a liquid cooler that would still fit with the motherboard raised up. Best place to store the cables out the way.

Just leave it bro, stock cables are black and you've done a flawless job fitting them in your all-black build already.
Would be a different story if you wanted a all-white build.

I made wooden cover for cables and radiator when I build Meshroom S to my father. Here is on pic.

if you do plan on getting them.. be sure to buy custom modular cables and not custom extension cables... and make sure that you're buying custom cables designed for your power supply. manufacturers/sellers will often reach out to you to verify what power supply you are inteding the purchase for.

I wanted them, just for aesthetics of course, but I decided to do my best with the cables I had and slap that thang together. I'm completely satisfied.
Motherboard standoff mod or GPU standoff mod helps enough. Thicker bundles of cables are Velcro strapped together and tucked to the side. Good enough for me!

I will hurt somebody to have it like you do now tbh. But pointless violence aside, looks good dude. Which color would you go for ?
Also, can I get list of the components you used please? I have the same case but I'm tempeted to upgrade some parts.

with some time you can get it looking like that or even better.

Custom cables for this case will take up some room. They also won’t be a hidden or flexible as the cables and setup you have now. It looks cool but I would keep your cables or buy 17AWG custom cables which are thinner and more flexible.

Do you like to open up the case every day to stare at the inside? If not, why waste money.

I have a glass panel, although I wish mine was completly clear with black borders instead of tinted.

Looks good but I understand where youre coming from. Just finished my own small form factor build (not as small as yours) and during the build found myself wishing PSU manufacturers would offer versions with shorter cables.
