you know, I was just looking at some of these cases on here and thinking to myself, you know...there are certain "standards" that have been set in the rate my cables thread and whenever I see them anywhere else they are usually forum members or browsers.

I was wondering if these were created here and spread or if there is somewhere else that uber wiring you case was such a big deal.

Some of the standards I am talking about are the turn the HDD around, the use of flat IDE cables instead of round, the mobo tray holes to run IDE's under, the flipping of the PSU to have majority of wires away from direct view just to name a few.

It seems like these have just become the norm, like whose case ISN'T like that.

I was just wondering if there is anywhere else that has this kinda info on wiring stuff.
 
I think it's just because it's what looks appealing to the eye? It doesn't take a panel of judges to say what I think looks good....
 
I know its just about what each person thinks but it seems like a lot of ideas started here at the [H]. I was wondering if there was another forum for example that had such an active wire management thread.
 
guess no other forums can wire a rig like the [H]
 
Yeah, having wires look clean is great, but honestly, if you like the way the wires are, that's what matters, we're just here to give suggestions if you chose to take them. ;)

As you can see in my sig, im a wire management addict, its just that there are so many ppl who have awesome wire jobs on the [H] that we are so proud of, I was wondering if we are just living in our little world or if wire management is widespread across all forums, because like anandtech doens't have anything about wire management and none of the other few forums i browse do either.
