So I just have the back of my PC tower facing out.
I got tired of always having to blindly try to get a cord in or out and functionally it makes more sense to just have the back facing out so you can access it.
Am I the only one that doesn't have this problem? I just use my hands and feel where they are. There all quite distinct if you know what your feeling for, I mean even the USB I usually get in first shot because I know generally what direction most boards are facing

This made me smile but then I realized the usb ports are playing pong with the audio jack and then I actually LOLd

Pro gamer move. Use the front facing camera on your phone as a mirror. It works great when finding ports on the bottom of your monitor.

I just use my motherboard's manual

I usually use the phone mirror trick, but for my AVR I always search for a picture of its back to plug stuff in

I figured this out with lateral thinking independently
It works

Does it look less aesthetic. Yes
But it's so much easier to deal with.

Even though this is practical I can't bring myself to do it, it just feels wrong

I really desire that older case designs (I mean, those with ports in the front part) become back.

I had it sideways behind the monitor at one point which was pretty nice for access.

Why does the USB-A plug fit exactly in the RJ45 network port?

I've already wondered more than once, why my USB device wasn't detected...

Oi, RJ45, hiding is against the rules.

Totally. It's silly and took a bit of creativity and effort just so we could giggle at it. :D Like the Internet good days.
