Of course, when Robert was a teenager, he tried to fool his mother, who had
told him to clean up his room. He simply piled everything in the closet, which
worked well until she opened the closet door. Figure 4-64 shows that bed-
room closet for our mainstream system—the rats' nest of cabling on the exte-
rior right side of the case. Fortunately, it's not as bad as it looks.
Note that unused Molex power connector hanging loose near the QA PASS
label. We left that there to remind us to connect power to the case fans. Do so
now, as shown in Figure 4-65.
To dress the messy side of the motherboard tray, first feed any excess cabling
back from the main chamber to this side of the tray. Gather and bundle the
cables, and secure them using the captive cable ties and the spare cable ties
from the parts box.
