I received a basic but modern PC case (Corsair Frame 4000 if anyone cares) as a father’s day gift. My low-end PC had been in a media PC case circa 2008 with about 40 holes drilled in it for more airflow. After getting everything in (except my DVD burner, LOL), this image came to me, and I correctly assumed I would be able to find the completed meme with no trouble.

    My computer looks great from the glass panel side! Just dont take off the back side panel or all the cables spill out and I have to push them all back in 🤣

      I have an SFF gaming PC with high-end components, including a 3-slot GPU. The cable management is basically just cramming the power cables between the power supply and the bottom of the case.

      The side panel just clips on, so I can’t even use it to hold the cables in.

      Like an IT Hernia!

      I don’t know what I assumed, but yeah, the modern solution is basically, "okay, no ribbon cables, but just cram everything else behind a piece of metal. 🤣

      Joke’s on them though because I still have a COM port and its connector is a gray ribbon cable with a single magenta stripe on the side.
