Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Define terrible cabling (?). I believe it's a mid-tower case so granted, it's going to be tight to fit a lot of stuff in there, but hiding wires is all a matter of how skilled you are at doing so (sleeving your PSU cables, using rounded or hiding IDE cables, etc.)
usually people refer to terrible wires as a case that is "supposedly" difficult to hide wires in.
There's no reason the case wouldn't be "doable" as in makinng it work.
I suggest you define what you meant as doable and give us a link to the case, but it won't help you if you are just wondering if it is possible to build a computer in it or not. You don't really even need a case to build a computer.

No, sorry, what i meant was the actual cabling of just the case. E.g fans to the controller, and LEDs and suchCs-Saki said:I've heard rumours that the cabling on the thermaltake XaverV V5000A is terrible, and seeing this is my first time building a pc... Is it doable?
I have that case. Yes there are alot of wires but if you follow the directions carefully you should be able to figure it out. As far as hiding the wires, I drilled a couple of holes here and there to run some of them behind the wall that the motherboard mounts to. You just have to get creative in placing the wires to keep the inside of the case looking "clean". Most of the wires come from the fan controllers.
I think its a good case. Its heavy, so if you plan on moving it around frequently, you might want to look at a different case. Defintely not good for lan parties. I like the fan controllers. With the fans turned all the way up it can be kind of loud. I usuallly turn them up about half way so its not to bad. Its definitely a solidly built case.
