If you've ever built a gaming PC or just looked inside one, you won't have missed the fact that everywhere you look there are cables. Wires to supply power, data, or both; wires to switch things on and off; wires to change the colour of lights; wires to attach chassis ports to the motherboard. At the very least, they're fiddly to fit and route, but if you're serious about your PC's looks, then they're a major pain to manage. Enter stage left Asus and its BTF ('Back to the Future') range of motherboards, graphics cards, and cases where cables are very much not the centre attraction.
A few weeks ago, our hardware overlord Dave asked me if I fancied building a PC and then reporting back on what the whole experience was like. At first, I was a bit bemused, given that we all do this kind of thing on a regular basis in the office. Then he mentioned that it was a couple of things from Asus, all hallmarked with three letters: B, T, and F.
