i fold them as flat as i can... been fine with me so far... i even took out the middle ide connector on the cable so i could fold it better. :)

Here are updated pics since i was still running an Asus back then...

I run all the cables from the PSU behind the MoBo tray, except for the unused cables which get coiled up and cable-tied behind the PSU. The wiring then goes behind the drive bays until it comes out at each device. All IDE and floppy cables are folded neatly out of the way of the airflow. All wiring is held in place with cable-ties.

Now that is really neat.
I second that. Who says you need rounded IDE cables to have a neat case?

Now all this talk has gotten me motivated to clean up my case. :p

The blue wrap is not wire loom. It is FLEXO PET Expandable Sleeving which is available right here @ svc

The sleeving is for my power wires and it has heat shrink on the ends which is black. Here is a great article on to put the sleeving on. Be prepared to take some time and have patience as it's no small project. That article is great and is what I used to do this.

Cold Cathod's are from SVC if I remember correctly.
