I wish I could turn my ex-coworker Eric loose on that- he was an absolute genius at wiring with stock components and even his "standard" builds were works of art. Over the years he had developed several techniques to deal with the overly long/unused cables that are part and parcel of an unmodified build and he prided himself on using a minimum of zip ties. A real Zen master of PC assembly.
I think it's weird that casemakers have jumped on the window fad but make no effort to dress up the interior. Nothing like looking into the case and seeing a bunch of plain, grey finish steel, is there? Kind of like popping the hood on a Ferrari and seeing a Ford four-banger engine.
Somewhat ironically, I've now spent almost three days rewiring Sprocket's new home and it doesn't have a window...I'm the only one who'll know.
