NOT SURE THIS WILL BE a NORM, but I re- routed my pc wires to the back of the tray and gain 2 degrees off my cpu temp, besides looking good it help my temps....

MY CPU SPECS :

ATHLON 900 MOBILE @ 9.5 X 136 = 1294 MHZ CPU TEMP NOW 36'c

BEFORE 38'C

LOOKS LIKE I'm Going to overclock this cpu a bit more , BTW Running at 1.65 VCore.
I Stoped at FSB 136 , Haven't tried any higher yet.. AIR COOLED... CRAPPY COOLER MASTER HS/FAN

I used to have a really messy cable management inside my case, and heat builds up, heating up the RAM like no tomorrow (plus the hot air blowing to the RAM) = random frequent crashes. Clear it up and trying to hide all the cables and now my comp never crashes anymore o_O
Right now I want to sleeve my cables :D

I ran out of zip ties when I was arranging my cables and I used small rubber bands instead. It kinda looks ghetto, but they get the job done. I hate messy cables whether it'd be inside the case or outside power cables.

Everywhere you have a cable, you have zero air velocity and viscous losses. Getting them out of the way will greatly increase the airflow in your case.

Today when it was 70ish in here (I left the windows open) I realized that my hard drive was running at 45c and my 3000+ was running at 43c. So I tiedied the case up like you did and added a fan in front of the hard drive. Now my processor runs under load about 4c cooler and more importantly, my hard drive runs about 12c lower.
