Nice setup, gave you 7/10 looks like you painted the inside, so gotta give some credit there. Your cables are crazy should hide as much of those as you can, but you did find a way to make it look pretty good even with that.

Hey, Great first rig here :) Well done for making everything match in style and colour.
Maybe you could separate your optical drives by moving your fan controller? So it could add a little more room for them unwanted cables to fit into, just a thought.
Anyways nice work.

working with IDE cables is always a daunting task. You did a good job with them.

cable management always night mare on the thermaltake M9 as only mid tower, not full one.
also the m/board tray only covers the motherboard i.e there is gaps / hole beside it and above it.
if this was completely filled in i would have cut holes through it and brought them round from behind, but unable to do that, please see images of new case fabricated from 12mm box section fully welded hoping when finished to have chrome dipped.
