This is what happens when kids have too much money or adults have no 3d vision. It looks like there was no tubing management. Its just as bad leaving cables without routing them behind motherboard. Please redo it. Its awful. get a pattern, a general concept and stick with it. To me it looks like all tubes were random or you changed the idea of your pc every bend.
