Have you seen all those electrician videos where they lay out perfect distribution boxes and also advertise their services? I came to restore the balance a bit - I have long abandoned the perfection and, once I'm finished, I'll never do it again.

Very earthy IMHO

I especially like that diagonal wire from the bottom left corner to the top right. Because I completely forgot about it and then there was no space below already and the wire was too short. :) Literally cutting corners, but for the greater good.

top left quadrant looks like fossil logo

On this note, are there any decent guides out there for good cable management? I usually build my computers myself but I never iterate on them because no matter what I do the cables are a mess.

You just need a beautiful, preferably animated frontend to hide that wiring and youโ€™re all good.

Some progress. Doesn't look nearly as good as it could've, but only because it's near impossible to get all the desired components in Cyprus on time. But it's functional, pun intended.

Looks better than what I'd make.
