Not sure if anyone interested, but though I'd post my case, from day 1 till now...
Case: Lian Li V2110
Mum board: EVGA 780i
CPU: Q6600 @3.4ghz
Ram: OCZ reaper 1066
GPU's: 280GTX OCX
I had a antec 900 caase that I became very bored with so I decided on the Lian Li.
Put everything in it...
Mounted my Rad.
And Decided it was the worse thing I had ever seen F ugly in fact.
I moved a fan, removed that Bar Card support thing, To see if it would tidy it up any?
NO!
This was no good at all, really wanted to have a nice clean looking Pc nice cables etc, like so many of you guys have achieved!
So I hit the shops.
1st thing I did was sort out the bottom Rad! it wasnt really getting much air so I added another fan for some push me pull me action, Had to get a LED
140mm fan due to the fact I wanted the reducer from 140 to 120mm.
I also was browsing about and fell in love with those sharkoon silent eagle golf ball fans, so I bought a shed load of those.
Still looked like a shocking pile of poo.
I put some AKASA sound proofing in to hide all that ugly dull metal next and swapped My IDE optic drive for a sata drive to get rid of bulky cable!
Then I put a few braides on the fan cables to see how much it would help? and added some cathodes (I know blue but I like blue) I also put a larger fan on the North bridge as temps were getting into the 70's this deltakeeps them at 50 now and I've got it running very quiet 7v I guess.
Cooling was shocking in this new case, So I added some front 120mm golf ball fans in lian li hard drive bays but with no hard drives in them. Its helped out loads.
I kept looking at that bar I took out and thinking that I'd like to mount a fan blowing across the ram but didnt want the bar! so I took it to work and cut it up, bought a can of white paint and sprayed the new style bracket, north bridge fan, ram heat sinks, and cpu block and the kitchen work tops.
Braided more cables, White this time to keep some sort of theme going I guess?
I really started to like the way it looked now, felt like I was getting somewhere!
I thought I'd play with some UV lights next, so bought some of those primo coils and had a fiddle, I liked the result so kept them in there, I also chucked them around the bulky GPU power cables as the braiding around them looks terrible. and put some around the main board power, as there isn't really a lot you can do to hide this thing!
Almost finished now, Just the side pannel to go.
Got it cut up and windowed, and the end result is this.
I'm really happy with the finish now! its gone from ugly as sin to what I see as being much nicer now, I just need some mesh to cover a hole in the back and mask of the PSU a bit, (got some small UV ideas for here) Hope you enjoyed. ATB

could try some cable extenders for those few extra cables routed infront of the mobo? I like 
White braid always looks ace.
I dread to think.
