    Well there are a lot of cables to hide but look at this.. (first pic i found)



    The excess cables can just be led into the hard drive cage directly in front and forgotten about.

    Good thinking.. but wont that destroy the amount of air being taken in?

    I shouldn't think so, if you keep them lot and flat and not just stuffed in as a bunch.

    Take your time with it and I shouldn't think it will be a problem. That the fact that there are so many holes and fans on that case that airflow is never going to be a concern.
