Let me save you some future headaches: always test your parts before the final assembly.

I meticulously routed all my cables only to find out the graphics card was faulty. Now I'm staring at a beautiful mess I have to take apart.

Six hours of meticulous cable routing wasted on a faulty graphics card is the worst kind of tech tragedy! I can just picture you staring at that beautiful mess, knowing every zip tie has to come off. The sheer frustration of undoing all that work must be overwhelming. Having to backtrack through such careful assembly feels like a personal insult from the hardware gods. You have my full sympathy for the tedious disassembly ahead. Testing first is a lesson we all learn the hard way!

Disagree honestly, that's just a free chance to redo the routing even cleaner lol. Never hurts to practice perfecting the craft.

Wait, you see that as a free chance to practice? Unraveling perfect cable management because of a faulty part is pure agony, not a craft lesson. Each zip tie cut feels like admitting defeat, and rerouting never goes as smoothly the second time. How is that not just adding insult to injury?
