140mm Pc Fan Cable Manager

140mm PC Fan Cable Manager. Cable management is a pain in any pc case, sff especially, without extra miles of fan cables to contend with. The Thermaltake Toughfan Pro 140mm fans come with very long wires. Excessively long. I had worked hard on cleaning up all the cables in my new Ncase M2 and did not just want to zip tie a rats nest of fan cables and tuck them aside. So I designed a compartment that holds the excess cable. The hole on the top corner lines up with the cable that exits from the back side of the fan. The front slot is designed to hold three un-sleeved fan wires, one going in from the second fan, and two coming out. The model is press fit and designed to be held closed by tension from pressing up against the side of the fan. The holes in the top are sized for regular fan screws. As you can see from the pics, this helped clean things up nicely. I have not made one for the 120 variants yet, but you could just scale it down in that axis while retaining the other dimensions.
