How do I clean out this mess of wires from my case?

[MournSanity]

Throw my case window, there are several of those electric wires cluttering the inside of my case. It's UGLY. I have seen pictures of some people's cases where they hid the wires and stuff. What's the best method of cleaning out the inside of your PC from a wirey mess? Should I tie them all up or cover them with something?

cover up whatever wire you arent using and use flexopet to clean up the wires you are using. rounded cables are a nice touch too

For maximum air efficiency, tie all the cables down in an orderly fashion to the case walls. rounded cables look nice but folding ribbon cables will improve airflow better.

Wrap them up in spiral wrap or wire loom. Then zip tie them to keep them in an out of sight position.

All right, I'll try to tie them up and see how it goes.

cable tie power cables, and fold any and all ribbon cables.

I have all the unused PSU cables wrapped up with cable ties and stuffed behind the PSU. I have all the PSU cables running behind the MoBo tray and over to the drive bays where they run behind the drive bays until they connect to a drive. Exposed PSU cables have been covered with FlexoPet braid. All the ribbon cables are folded flat out of the way.

Nice cable-gami. Lucky for you you only have 2 drives. What if you have 5?

It doesn't look as neat, and refuses to look too neat no matter what. I had to mess w/ 5 drives (each on their own channels) not long ago. It ain't pretty, but air can move freely.
