How do I even manage cables when there is so many?

Get a less cramped case. Are those hard drive cages?
>>51431095
But anon, the Node 304 is a god tier case if you set it up right. And I am not OP.
OP, invest in some custom cables so you don't have extra length.

Yes, 5x4tb drives +128gb 850pro

I didn't think about that before I bought everything. It's kind of too late I feel.
Use zip ties and nail clippers.

Mini-ITX can be tricky. He can make it neater for better airflow, but at the end of the day you still wont see half of whats going on in there unless he removes the cages.
1. modular psu so no redundant cables
2. zip ties
youre welcome
It's OK if I just don't look at the wires.

Just put the sides/top on. Out of sight, out of mind.
>have a bitfenix prodigy m
>5 drives in it
>even with all the cable management I can muster it always looks like a mess
Feel stupid now for getting the side window option but at least it was free
>>51431479
Done

Looks like you're using the stock cooler on your apu; one of the advantages of the node 304 is the ability to put a real heatsync on there - I use the cooler master hyper tx-3 for my similar setup which does a great job, and is much, much quieter than the stock cooler. Might want to consider it, OP.

heatsink*
You're not synchronizing heat. You're allowing it to sink into the metal to be dissipated away from the cpu.
half-wit.

Half a wit is enough for me, anon.

Buy custom cables or curl your sata cables

>so many
Not so much
>>51431752
I am only running the 45watt one so I think stock is fine for now, if I need to I'll consider it in the future.
GIT GUD.
This is my Node 304 NAS.

I feel like having a heatsink that large defeats the purpose when the airflow is beling blocked by the extra thick cables you are using.

What is used on the cables here to tie them?
