My first build had cables everywhere until last Tuesday

I finished my PC build last week in Denver and my cable management was a disaster with wires hanging everywhere behind the glass panel. Then a friend told me to use zip ties and route everything behind the motherboard tray before connecting the PSU. Does anyone have a trick for keeping fan cables from bunching up in the bottom corner?

Tbh zip ties work but you gotta plan the route before even mounting the motherboard.

Yeah 100%. Last build I did I ran all my cables behind the mobo tray first, even the front panel headers, and taped them down with painters tape so they'd stay put. Saved me from having to fight with zip ties later when I couldn't reach anything. Also learned the hard way to leave extra slack near the PSU end, not the component end. Nothing worse than being one inch short on a 24 pin and having to undo everything.
