building first comp, NOW

Alright so heres the deal, everything arrived for my first computer. I went all out, 8800GTX, Q6600 for overclocking, and most importantly watercooling. Im starting to think it was a mistake for my first build, but its to late now. My case is a TJ07. Now my problem is i have wires EVERYWHERE, and im wondering is this a fire hazard or a risk to my computer? i look at other peoples cases and i never see wired as bad as in mine, here are some pics of my case

also, im wondering where in the hell to put my radiator, it is a 3x120 swiftech.

PLEASE HELP
 
That is a mess, but It's hard to help someone with wiring if you aren't exactly there with them. The only thing i could suggest is Zip Ties!
 
You should definitely manage your cables better - it looks like a jungle in there! If you leave your cables like that, it's bad for the airflow inside and will cause more heat.
 
haha lol dude...
thats gonna cause probs for ur graphic card as most of ur wires are over the graphic card.
but otherwise Very Nice!!
 
lol after reading around i found out about 1/3 of those wires dont ever need to be there, and most of the other ones can be ran behind the motherboard rack down to the powersupply, going out to get brackets to mount my radiator ontop of my case tommorow then ill rearrange the wires lol
