You should be able to bunch up some cable and place it behind the 3.5" bays.

What case is it you have?

 

[randal]

Rotate your CPU cooler 90 degrees anti-clockwise so it vents out through the exhaust fan. You're taking hot air off the graphics card on the intake.

As to your original question, route everything behind the mobo tray. Cut/drill some holes if needs be, then sleeve off the sharp edges.

probably a silly question but how can i rotate it 90 degrees will i have to move the cpu braket ?

zip ties, lost of them

 

[Sayso]

have all cables running around the back of mobo tray and through the holes supplied, if there isnt a hole cut one.
sleeve the visable cables it makes them look neater, bunch them together with cable ties, dosnt matter if the back of the case is a mess no one will see it

yea your cooler is facing the wrong way.

 

[Amd_Athon_God]

how do i turn it around then?

 

[mjones1]

Take the cooler out of it's socket then turn it around.

what case is that? Ill knock something up quickly in paint as a rough guide

Also the cooler is pulling aor of the passive gfx card which might not be a bad thing you know. Cheak you cpu & gfx temps & tell us your spec.
