Lol, that's why I couldn't be bothered finding my camera.
I DID NOT enjoy doing my last build and the cable management, or lack thereof, reflects it
The Lian Li V-1020A is a lovely case - but whoever designed it needs a damn good slap. On the plus side, there are no window panels so I can't see my laziness
Your Lian Li looks like it'd be just a tad bit easier to cable manage than the model I have, PC-B70. It looks to have a couple more access holes anyway. Cable management was a pain with it and it took me a couple of weeks before I was for the most part satisfied, buying and trying different cables online to get it there.
Anyway, when you do it, have fun.
I'm one of those people who likes to look inside electronics such as stereo equipment and marvel at the layout of components and wiring job. Since then I've been into "cable management" before there was such world, or at least became common.
Anyway when I got my first PC (custom built) one of the first things I did was clean up the mess of cables and wires all over the place
Here's some photos of my system in two different cases....
i7-950 system in an Antec P182 case.....
i7-950 system in a Cooler Master HAF-X case....

The patience and attention to detail is admirable and is worth the recognition.
But tbh, my concentration has very much been elsewhere lately and by the umpteenth undo/retie/readjust - faecal matter was cracked and I simply slammed the side panels on. But most importantly - it works.
Time for my OCD clean up later
Well I tend to get mines done during the initial build. After that it's set it and forget it
That's my normal MO as a rule too, but ... yeah. It's not currently a priority.
EDIT: Got bored. This case really is a bitch to work with. Not the best job, but it's an improvement over what it was yesterday...
Apologies for rubbish pic quality, only camera I could find. It does look a lot better in the 'flesh' so to speak.
If they'd have moved the HDD cage 1cm to the left, you wouldn't have to remove the entire HDD cage to access the front fan filters. Which I forgot to put back on...
That 5.25 ODD bay area... what a PITA. You have to dismantle the entire bloody thing to access it. That got old, real fast. The hidden device aspect is a nice touch though. Once you've sorted it out.
