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.

I've been building PCs since before cable management was a thing and so I've never cable managed anything. The inside of my case looks messy regardless of where you open it. Thankfully there's no glass panel either.

*cable mismanagement

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.

stupid question. but is there a wireless limit?

if it theoretically possible to have a computer where the only cable things need are just power, and the rest is wireless?

don't care about the practicality, just about how's much power/speed could it theoretically handle

Yeah, it's totally possible. It's called a laptop
