My cable management attempt turned into a fire hazard

So I finally got around to zip tying all the wires under my desk last weekend. It looked so clean, like a YouTube setup or something. But then my PC wouldn't boot and I spent 2 hours tracing a USB cable I accidentally cinched too tight against the PSU fan. Learned that neat doesn't always mean smart, especially near moving parts. Has anyone else had a "clean setup" backfire on them?

Bet your zip ties are making the airflow worse than the mess ever did.

3 cable ties fixed my airflow, @brian_jackson, no issues since.
