ZIP-TIES

Using zip-ties to do cable management is a smart way to keep all the cables out of the was and arranged in a clean manner.

Tie up any access cables nice and neat so they don't catch any elements within the PC. Should watch out when cleaning these cables and tying them that they do not interfer with any parts or are in the danger of causing damage to the fan.

Note: Watch out for cables before closing the case and ensure they do not get pinched when putting the sides of the case on.

CLOSING THE CASE (AFTER)
