Help needed for Cable Management

[DeMisE]

So I had my PC built by a forumer here as I had no clue on how to assemble a PC of my own, only know the theory.

The case I have is a Corsair 400c, and I heard it has a bad reputation regarding cable management. It features a drive cage that SSD can be slotted into.

It was never installed for me as the behind cable management was a mess, and the front 2 drive bays are occupied. Now that I am considering of installing a new SSD, but I have no idea on how to install manage the 400C cables.

FYI, this is how it looks when I open up the back.

Any SLS shops that provides such service to manage this back to a GOOD ENOUGH condition to install the drive cages?

Secondly, if the case is really that rabak, possible to purchase a case from them and pay them a fee for assembling the current parts together? What to they do with the old case ah? Or is it I keep and sell on carousell?

Thanks ah guys.

So he took out the 3 ssd drive cages or else cannot manage the cables? Lol...hope he did it for you free or else....

I'm having the same case and I don't even know those ssd drive cage can be dismantled till today. No problem doing cable management with the drive cages on it too but truth be told, I paid my wife $20 to ask her tidy up those cables .

No,sim lim shop will not pay any money for your old case. And I doubt they even provide 'transfer pc case' service.

You bring your case come my house pay my wife $30 and she do for you .

The 3 cages comes together in a frame, and nope, the assembly costs some $ haha.
And that kinda sucks that SLS won't do a transfer. Guess I just have to get a m.2 if I ever wanna get some expansion

There's actually a bulge when I close the panel, coming from the lump of cables at the bottom.
I tried installing just the cages, and I can't even keep the back panel closed.

I have the same case as well.

Basically, what I do is:
CPU power cable route through the right side
Everything else by the left side.
Shove as much cable as you can into the PSU shroud

I guess if you don't mind the messiness in your case, you can cut the cable ties tying the cables in the middle together, and push them all to the left side. Then you should be able to put on the SSD mounts again.

Or if all else fails, just consider getting a M.2 SSD if your mobo supports it.
