Cable managing P180

Ok, well I just finished "cable managing" my P180...i put quotes on it because compared to my last cable manage job on my old case...this is more like cable tidying rather than managing because you can still see them...they are just clean(er).

Here is a picture of what it looks like now. I was wondering if anyone who has cable managed one of these before could give some advice on what I could do to improve this a little if at all.

My tips:

1. Cut about 1cm off the tape on the side, the white rubbery tape that seals the top from the bottom, and lead your fan wire through there, then electrical tape up that bit.
2. Ditch the DFI "round" cables. They're just rolled up ide's in a stiff plastic shell. Try some flat IDE's.
3. Put your other drive in the lower compartment.

Then it should be much better.
 
Thank you for the suggestions.

I'm not sure what you mean by the tap between the compartments, but I will have a look when I get off work.

The DFI round cables are all I have right now. None of my flat cables are long enough to go in this case. However, I am placing an order on SVC for some other things ver shortly so I was planning on getting some flat cables in that order.

The 3rd drive has to be up near the DVD drive because the channel that the DVD drive is on is the only free one I have for IDE. The other two channels are taken by the two drives down below.

Remove the side panel that is closest to the motherboard. You will see the white tape.
