That is trolling. The cable problem and ease of access has been solved, my rather modest PC case (Carbide 500R) has place to accomodate everything with not a single cable showing or interfering with the airflow. And I somehow manages to put there the mighty D-14 as a cpu cooler.

Every decent case made in the last 5 years have very easy access to the CPU and very good cable management. Also we have detachable hdd cages and place for insanely huge VGA cards.

Of course building this kind of rig requires modest skills. Like being able to build anything from lego.
