    It looks like someone puked out a load of cables into your case!

    When it looks like that your task can seem a bit daunting. Best thing to do is disconnect everything and start again.

    There doesnt seem to be much room for hiding your cables in that case. And yes cable ties are your friend :). If you could run a line of cables down between the MB and hard drive cage, securing with cable ties and you might be able to hide excess cables in the area over your DVD drive (i think i see space up there!)

    Don't forget to fill in those holes at the back with blank brackets. Leaving them empty can interfere with airflow.

    Most of those cables look like they're not in use. IMO, tie them up with cable ties to that rung from the PSU to the HDD.
