Hello all,
I'm recently after moving into a house in Ireland and want to tidy the coaxial cable coming out of the wall in the attached picture.
I was planning on stripping the cable and putting on the wall bracket shown on the bottom of the picture.
The cable is a compression fitting
But on second thought, am I best to leave it and put on a blank cover or one that has a flap if I need it for the future...
Small, black and quiet 😁

Hi guys. It's a long read, but I really ask for your support and advice.
My name is Artur Uryvkov. Many of you remember me from my custom project, ShadowBlock, for organizing the cable management of the I/O zone. A few months ago, I put up a post in this sub-reddit and was glad that I managed to create something that you guys truly appreciated. I spent several months working on the project after my main job. There were a lot of problems at every stage of creation, from a pencil sketch in a notebook and technical specifications to the first perfectly working prototype on a resin printer (FDM turned out to be unacceptable for this project; the detailing suffered a lot, and post-processing with painting caused big problems). I tried to make it so that it fits almost any PC without design flaws, but thanks to some of you it was improved a little in places where I hadn't even thought of—thank you for that. Some even bought my prototypes for their builds. Each prototype—resin printing, connecting the electronics, a 3-stage painting process, and packaging—took a colossal amount of time, and many looked at the price skeptically, and I understand them. I wasn't planning to do everything by hand, not even thinking that anyone would need it. But before the post went live, I still registered the industrial design with the patent office. I have been living in Poland for a long time now, but I am originally from Ukraine, if anyone is interested.
A few months after the post came out, I accidentally found a video by Alex Krastev (technic) from SignalRGB. He spoke very positively about the product. I wrote to him, and 10 days later I received a response saying that when the product goes to the masses, they will integrate ShadowBlock into their lighting control program, and it will be supported and synchronized with the PC through their software. And then, as I thought, I had everything in my hands to start storming the brands, and there was hope that the product would go out into the world. In my personal opinion, the DNA of my design fits both the style of Fractal Design with their Scandinavian minimalism, and up to Phanteks or be quiet!, speaking of Europe. I stormed them with letters from all sides as best as I could, found the right people, made inquiries, but alas, I didn't get a response from anyone. Honestly, guys, I don't understand what else they need—maybe market validation, a Kickstarter campaign, even more virality, going to them personally, I don't know. Kickstarter was initially not interesting to me; I wasn't going to manufacture ShadowBlock personally myself. I am a creator, right now I have several other projects in development, and worrying about manufacturing is not my thing. But reality turned out to be much harsher: most likely, if I don't bring it to the market myself, the project will die along with my desire to build anything else, since there will be no point in it. I need your advice and support, I am no longer driven by motivation, I just want to finish what I started and see how it all ends, but let me say in advance, I am already grateful to you for everything.
Im making a fractal terra build and the standard psu 12vhpwr cable is pretty flexible but still do you think this bend is too dangerous?
Is this to close to the wall? i have to rca cables running from my interface to my cd player and i was wondering if the short distance between the wall and cables is going to damage them
Now the latest collaboration project is ready 👌🏻
Noctua 20th anniversary build.
Lots of walnut wood, 8.8" screen with Noctua theme, beige/brown cables, NF-A12X25 G2 as bottom fans, the newly released NL-LC1-36 AIO for CPU and the optional NL-ACF1 80mm fan.
One of the first Noctua fans released, the NF-S12-800 from 2006, serves as the rear fan.
The power supply is a Seasonic Prime Titanium with wooden fan guard and the cabling is hidden behind the walnut backplate.
Hi, guys and girls! I’m new to this community. I’m custom_pc-builder from Russia (yep, someone could hate this). I saw some works here. And now just hold my beer. And yes, try to find FoxLab_CustomPC.
Please, rate my work! Want more?
I need help managing my cables, the two things monitor cables can’t be moved, and I need someways to hide the extension and the cables so it looks “clean”
So this is the 3rd pc I built. Went with an NZXT case to ease my cable management.
But I wanted to add useless ARGB to “sell faster” in summer when people go in vacation. My genius will kill me someday.
Anyway I daisy chained the argb cables and then just did this monstrosity. I have also a 5 makes to 1 female argb adapter but idk how to use it properly because just the asianhorse argb motherboard and gpu cable sleeves take out 80% of the capacity of one pin on the motherboard soo….. u know
I really want to make a proper cable management but on YouTube there are tutorials like “…look at the mess and find the order in it…” I mean is it a motivational video or what?
Anyway I think I will take some time this evening to do a proper cable management putting some relaxing music and I will update the post maybe if I am not too lazy heheheheheh
Have a great day!
Hello fellow homelabbers!
I need some serious help saving my setup before gravity does its thing (it has already a few times). Right now, my entire network and server setup is balancing on a super narrow window ledge, and it’s a chaotic spaghetti mess of cables.
Here is what I am currently working with:
- Raspberry Pi 5 running a 1TB NVMe SSD the back thing next to spoke guard. (I'm using Docker to host Jellyfin, Immich, qBittorrent, and a ton of other services).
- A TP-Link AX23 (v2) and my ISP's fiber modem/ONT.
- A bulky power strip (spike guard), power adapters, excess ethernet slack, and a delicate fiber optic cable just hanging out.
My main goals are:
Additional the black wire that's tied to a cloth on left can be removed since it's an old cable for TV. Which is not used anymore.
Sorry for the mess but it just got built up with time. Looks ugly and prone to falling. Also I live in a hot and humid city.
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a solution to the following problem regarding my standing desk setup. I have my cable management pretty well sorted out, but there's one thing I can't figure out how to improve: there are cables I use daily that aren't always connected to a device. It's usually something like my phone charging cable or a USB-C cable I use for various gadgets, whether that's a console controller or an external USB drive.
I thought the best solution would be to somehow make them retractable so they pull out from the side or the back of the desk, but I can't seem to find a solution or a product that allows me to do this. If anyone has found a nice, aesthetic, and functional way to solve this issue, I would really appreciate it. And of course, once I get this solved, I'll post pictures!
Girlfriend was given a free PC from a friend who upgraded to a new pre-built. I told her I'd take a look and do cable management.
Two things: F*** non modular PSUs and I hate AIO coolers. The HDD mounting bracket is a dam of electric spaghetti because I don't have anywhere else to put the extra 900 feet of power cabling.
Does anyone havw any recommendations/ what to buy to manage these cables??? Really wanna tidy this setup up . PS i will clean the monitor as well Thanks

Well, here is people! It is open for all. Just 3d print and start organising those cables.
​
This is just version 1.0, there are more stuffs in my pipeline - making anchored rails, improving usability, making parametric version, etc.
Hi there, never built my own PC before, and I never use Reddit.
No idea what a "Self post" is.
I recently brought a PSU to replace mine, only to find it has a 12-pin, and my 3090 REQUIRES 3x8 pins instead.
Any solutions? Any bright ideas to make this PSU work for me?
Please respond quickly and accurately, I'm VERY not okay right now.
Update: I do not want to risk my hardware, so I bought the Asrock Steel Legend sl-850g.
There are three reasons for this:
Adapters are not something I have a great amount of trust for, especially if the 12vhpwr line is as unreliable as people keep insisting.
The 850W SAMA power supply that I purchased has very bad reviews, and many people insist it was defective out-of-the-box.
An RTX 3090 CAN pull up to 500W under high load, and even higher if you overclock. That 12vhpwr line is 450W max, which introduces issues.
All-in-all, my warning to you is to double and triple check products you buy, and always check the return policy, because SAMA does not accept returns for any reason.
Buyer beware, you're in for a scare.
