Is the cable management good enough?

[Fury Dharok]

So i got my build a few hours ago
I think its neat enough since this is my first build
Im not sure how it would look to others but i have seen better cable management
Tell me what do you think about it Note: I didn't build anything in this, i requested somebody to build it for me.

Not sure how much better it can get really; looks really clean.

It looks like you only have a couple of hard drives in the 3.5" bay. If that is removable, you could connect the hard drives to brackets and install them in the 5.25" bay under the optical drive, remove that whole 3.5" bay and really open up the airflow.

Ok thanks for the tip, ill see what i can do

Actually i wouldn't worry about the airflow in the front fan, i have a side 200mm fan.
If you still think i need airflow from the front fan tell me

No, I'm not saying you NEED the extra airflow but it does improve it to have that front fan blowing straight through rather than blowing through a barely used HDD cage.

I see, are the hard drives going to be stable and solid in the 5.25" bays like in the 3.5 bays? Thanks

With those they will but if you have more than 1, which I can't tell from pic, you may just sacrifice your good cable management for some added but unnecesary airflow so maybe not worth the trouble. Was just a thought since removing that 3.5" bay would really open it up.

It's a HAF 922 case with 2 drives. 1 ssd 1 hdd

Well the SSD can be mounted anywhere, even the backside of the 5.25" cage. I've even used double sided tape before. With one of the brackets mount the HDD in 5.25" bay and the 3.5 bay is no longer needed (if it can be removed), but again, this is just a practice I've done before to open up the airflow in a case and get rid of an unused drive bay. Could create more clutter and work than it's worth considering you've already done a pretty good job at management.
