    So-called "cable management" is the most ridiculous thing to worry about. Also, it's counterproductive. Suppose you want to remove the side panel to temporarily connect an HDD or SSD in order to partition it or whatever. With a normal PC in which some fancy lad didn't obsess about "cable management", you can just set the drive on the desk and run a power and signal cable to it because the cables aren't all trapped behind the motherboard tray.

If you ran Prime95 for an hour or so to determine temperatures don't worry, that test is so power-intensive that it won't reflect any real-world scenario so your temps might actually be a good bit lower (check for example GN's case reviews, they use Prime95 and then Blender, in the second scenario temps are always 15-20 degrees lower)

    I really enjoy your videos. Great job of correcting his mistakes! Some of my thoughts on "Daniels" service; I could understand missing a screw and forgetting to install it, (I've done it myself), but the SSD is definitely a miss. Putting the foam packing upside down is also a miss, along with the hair. Most of this is something that you wouldn't be able to foresee, though, in "being careful" on who you pick to do your build for you. You don't discover this until you hire someone and get it back. There is no way to protect oneself from such "rushed" jobs and shabby services unless someone posts the results in some sort of review.
