Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases? (lemmy.world)

Is it worth the effort to make custom cables, or should I just work on better cable management?

Not sure what you mean by "worth" here, it's a bit of tedious work, the other day I stumbled on an YT comment response saying author spent around 8 hours making a motherboard 24pin cable, I'd say it's worth it if you absolutely need it, dude's cables were perfect length and shape tho

I just got done making sleeved cables for a fightstick, so I'm not afraid of the tedium. Just concerned about burning my build up.

I think the only way you can burn your stuff is by wiring your cables wrong, so testing twice it thrice would be enough, it's not 12VHPWR cable, right?
