What if they made MB connecters on the back of the mb?

If they did it would be a hell of a lot easier to do cable mangment, right?

To me it would, I mean they already do that with harddrives and ssd. Why dont they do that with psu's and the motherboard?

Because that would make such board incompatible with some cases. And no manufacturer wants it.

That is true, however if they did then over time there would be more and more cases with that. Everything has to start somewhere.

Whether they are on the front or the back, its the same amount of cables.
Also, ATX. Standards exist for a reason.

It would be harder and more risky to repair it...(soldering)
