Wiring in Micro ATX...

Sometimes I wish I could just cut off the extra wires I don't need in a Power Supply Unit..but even I know that would probably be bad :).

I can tie them up neatly with the included wires, but there is a problem. They hang low...almost too close to where the fan is going to be. I can temporarily solve this problem by sticking them into the top DVD Bay , but eventually I'm going to want to put a Blue-Ray player there.

Is it safe to have wires sitting right next to a motherboard, or on memory units? If not, any way I can 'suspend' them from the ceiling of the Case so they are out of the way?

Other than the wires, everything seems like it's going to fit OK, depending on the size of the fan.

Thanks :)

Whoops, b/c I cut off all the unnecessary wires off my Antec TruePower. Of course, I melted over the ends in rubber so there aren't any bare leads going out. Seriously.

You should just get some zipties and stuff extra wires into any open 5.25" or 3.5" slots. Preferably, they should stay away from the action so at the worst, find some post in your case to tie them to. It would help if you mentioned what your case is too.
