Are there any holes up by the PSU where you can run the unused wires behind the motherboard tray (accessible by removing the opposite side panel)? If not, take the unused PSU wires one by one and secure them up inside the highest 5.25" drive bay. If you can, I usually but my burner in the second bay down, and them stuff the wires up above it.

Good luck...
 
A quick and easy way to manage the bulk excess of wires is to mount the cd-rom 1 space below the top of the case (allowing a cubbyhole), pull all excess wires up into that cubbyhole. Route the wires to your hard drive behind the side of the case and the support of the Hd/Cdrom. For gods sakes man, for the rear case fan run the wire down the back of the case to the lowest fan header standoff (third picture by the last Pci slot).
 
OK, I had this related question.....my motherboard came with this UV Sleeves....is it OK to put them onto the wires ? I mean, is there a chance that they might melt or something in there ?

Also, my PSU came with these ties, to tie up the wires in the casing...the problem is that their material is like a rough cloth, like a carpet or those straps ....the question is, is it ok to use them in the casing, as they might generate some static charge if they rub against something...
