Is it possible to organise the cable cleanly in this pc?
-
The pc does not have back compartment, nor anyway to attack the cable to.
What I am thinking right now is to hot glue some zip ties to the centre gap between HDD and mb. And then zip ties the cable to the zip tie, so it runs down the centre of the pc cleanly and branches out to its destination like a upside-down tree.Let me introduce you to the lost art of cablegami.

Longer cables? It looks fine to me, mine looks like a magpie nest with SSDs somewhere in there not even screwed to anything.
there's no SSD in this, that hard drive is in a bracket.

I have a buddy who's really good at cable management. You could bring your computer to California and maybe he'll do it for you if you buy him lunch.

I don't think there's much you can do, nor would there be much of a point to it. It doesn't look like the cables are currently blocking the airflow and you're not going to get the inside of this case look aesthetically pleasing anyway. Presumably the side panel isn't glass either, so you'll basically never see it. Personally I'd just close it up and forget about it.
It's also going to make repairs harder since youll need to undo the cables and then fix them again when finished.

The wires are kind of short to do much here. I'd just try and make sure they're all tied up in one bundle
Would bundling them potentially be a source of unwanted heat? Possibly not, I've no idea!

Yeah, exactly.
Cable management is for three reasons: airflow, maintainability, and aesthetics. None of those are needed here, so just put the case on and call it good.
Computers of this era weren't meant to be looked at!

Otherwise you're a monster
