The starting point inside the DIYPC ARGB-R1-W isn’t a pretty scene. This is unfortunately what some ultra budget cases give you, and this certainly is one of the tougher ones. There is a huge bundle of cables from all of the IO connectors, as well as the RGB cables from the fans, and not a lot of places to put them.

After installing and connecting the motherboard, this is the first phase of cable management. I was focusing aesthetically on the top section, and disregarding the bottom section. The cables down below will eventually get stuffed into the PSU basement, so I didn’t bother trying to bundle them up. If you want to cable manage better than I did, this is exactly where I would start so the end design looks cleaner.

After installing the remaining components, including the PSU, here’s what it looks like. Up top I was able to utilize some zip tie down points and it looks perfectly fine, but down below is a disaster. There were just too many cables for me to bother trying to make it look nice.

You’ll also note that there is a SATA powered RGB button switch. I’m only using that for the livestream so that we can see what the colors look like before installing Windows.
