Absolutely, you certainly it was a compliment, in the film the killer had an incredible skill in detail, a skill so out of the ordinary that it never allowed him to be discovered. I consider this skill extraordinary and that is why it was mentioned. Obviously, no one kills anyone in the IT world.

Ahahah, thats an over statement. Don´t want to be the false modest, but with patience, logic and a clear goal, the skills will appear. This is not that dificult, it´s time and trial and error.

as a boy they hired me in a computer shop because I had masterfully assembled a computer and I tell you that my computer was much worse than yours.

I have noticed now that even the button battery has the writing exactly aligned with the horizon

Yeah, This computer is aligned with the Pyramids of Egypt and constellation Orion.

Would you mind describing how you made that sexy cable management? It looks like you have a cardboard or something that you wrap the cable around with cable clips?

If I ever decide upon a first final system I might copy the style..

Yes, i used dual sided, glued cardboard, but im planning to use other stronger material. I use trial and error to seek the best geometry and dimensions for folding the cables. I use braces to do the trial and error. When i find the right form, i cut them and redo the cardboard structure. I finish using very strong scotch tape to glue the cables and cardboard and apply braces if needed specifically. Nothing special, only work and patience.

Cool thanks for the guide. Yes, maybe some plastic material is optimal. Cardboard might not age well as it tends to suck up moisture.

Some people don´t care about those details which i understand. One year ago, i didn´t care that much about cable management. Now, i need to do the work as good as possible to be satisfied with the build. There´s no other option.
