Performed Mods:
I removed the intake fan I previously had on my side panel. I cut off sleeving from part of the 24 pin power to route behind mobo tray. I also bought an 8 pin extension cable to route that behind mobo tray. I also added 4 cathodes placed all over the case.
For those of you looking at this thinking the wires are very sloppy and cluttered... they are. It's impossible to avoid especially since my PSU is bottom mounted and it's fully modular. I tried my best though.

hmm

Clean up those wires and it will look much better.

Use zip ties to bundle all of them together and have them follow the edges of the case instead of dangling in the open.

EDIT: It's not your power cables which look bad, it's that speaker wire and all those fan control cables hanging about which distracts.

Yeah trust me guys, it looks way better with the side panel, especially since I taped those white fan control cable to the bottom of my side panel. And since those fan control cable were out of sight when I put the side panel back on I really didn't care too much about that. By the way, how can I hide that speaker cable.

Impossible to avoid... ?? I changed my vote from 5 to a 3 just for that comment... Try a little harder !!!! You have a sharp looking system, just need re-route the wires, cut and extend if needed.... Look at my system if needed. Twice the power using hardware, slim style case with only one cable showing... it can be done...
