Route as many cables as you can behind the motherboard tray that's pretty much what that space is designed for : ]

Other then that look for holes to route wires, or cubby holes to hide wires your not using.

I'm afraid the pictures are not really clear enough for me to give you specific advise E.G x wire goes here etc.

Your case actually looks rather good for cable management seems to have lots of holes!

Should be a pretty easy job if you take your time.

Just do one cable at a time so you can focus on making that one cable as tidy as possible, then move to the next.

I tend to start with the 4/8 pin connector or the 24pin connector .

Ahh you'd be better of sleeving individual cables as they'll take be taking up less space so you can route them much easier, for example that cable I mentioned could be let underneath the motherboard its self :D

For sticky tape to hold it down in the right places under the motherboard tray after all your not going to see the tape through the mobo.

That is if you want it look even tidier.

That is not how you sleeve cables.

Cable sleeves should be clean and flush with the wires contained in the sleeves. Here's a few examples of stellar cable sleeves and management.

yeah the program that came with the graphics card.

Look on your computer for Catalyst control centre.

It can often be found in the notifcation area of the task bar too ( the ickle tiny icons )
