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.
Just got my first truly modern PC case...

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 🤣

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.

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.

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.

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

Wireless "storms" can happen causing unreliable wireless communication. Especially if the wireless signals are on the same or very similar frequency.

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