Whelp... let's just say that there's a reason I'm asking for advice on a new case to move my system into in my other thread. But the pictures of the front side in that thread kind of hide the real ugly.
Here's the zoomed out summary including the nest of cables and tube that I never prioritized organizing since I don't see it...,

And here's a bit of a zoom-in on the most cluttered part of the case:

If anyone's wondering: on the other side of the blue foam is the Aquaero 5 that controls all fans in the case. I added the foam to the backside as a precaution against accidental electrical shorts.
This means four fan groups, one flow sensor and seven temperature probes.
Also in the general area is tubing for the water cooling, the internal pump and reservoir, three u.2 SSDs with their respective m.2->u.2 adapters and of course power for everything.
I used to also have two 2.5" SSDs on the back, but they got migrated to my home server when I replaced them with my first u.2 SSD.
It's kind of crammed so tight that everything stays in place only partially because I did some effort at cable managing everything but also because there's nowhere for it to go...
Oh and the bright yellow-ish stuff is acoustic foam. I was hoping to minimize how audible any coil whine is, so I added some extra on top of what Fractal already put on the side panels.
