My Cable Management

I probably should've waited until I took the time to plug in my two optical drives but I'm eager to get some feedback on my first attempt at cable management. I own a DFI board and there exists four power connectors. The floppy power cable and the molex are recommended to be plugged in for stability issues but I decided not to plug them in since I'm not overclocking anything at the moment. My question is simply - what can I do to currently improve what I've got? My case is a Mid/Micro ATX so I'm a bit more limited on space than the average Mid Tower ATX case. Here's a link to it:

No IDE and power cables on the drives?

the drives are backwards, so the connectors are on the other side

we are talking about the two optical (cd) drives on top that have no power or ide

The optical drives are? Meaning when he ejects a CD it goes into his motherboard?
 
good job. Looks great...now i need to do mine.

PS I would sugest plugging the molex and FDD power into the mobo, molex above the chipset and FDD right above the pcie slots.
 
Very nice job, now get a good cooler and start oc'ing! I hate seeing stock coolers on such nice boards. :p
 
you might want to clip off the hoods on the ide cables...makes them bend a bit more, and looks better
