Hell yeah. Hell yeah. It’s time for something I’ve been waiting on for over a year, ever since we first saw desktop PC part manufacturers put connection ports on the back of motherboards instead of the front. It’s time to build a PC with not a single visible cable. And you can follow along step by step, as Adam and Will build it live on stream.
This extra-long video shows off the guys building a full gaming PC, featuring parts from Asus’ new “Back To Future” (BTF) system. Not only are the case (a TUF GT302 ARGB) and motherboard (Z790 BTF WiFi) designed to route power and data cables through the back chamber, the graphics card (ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB) can route its power right through the motherboard thanks to a semi-proprietary connector.
That means with careful placement, and to be fair, a lot of covering on the power supply, every single cable in the PC will be hidden from the glass viewing area. The only thing even remotely resembling a cable will be the coolant lines for the all-in-one cooler going from the radiator to the water block. The War on Cables is over, and the cables lost.
This start-to-finish build video is a hair over two hours long, so sit back and relax. Maybe take a peek at the chat replay on YouTube — PCWorld veteran Gordon stops by to chat with Adam and Will and the hundreds of live viewers. Enjoy, and for more live PC builds, be sure to subscribe to PCWorld on YouTube.
