Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on cable management a where i could hide the cables at... It also needs a good dust as well before anyone mentions it :P

What case is it?

Straight away i'd be running every single one of them cables out the back of the case, and then back through close to where they need to go then cable tie them to the back of the case. I spent ages doing mine and i'm still not happy with it to be honest.

All your fan cables can run in between the fans and then neatly next to each other to their connections. that pink sata cable can be cable tied to the back of the cables above it behind so you can't really see the pink.
 
If you don't need it, remove it.

How much space is behind your motherboard tray and where are the spaces for them to feed back though?
 
Echoing what the guys have said, work out what you need and if you don't need it, remove it.

The case looks like it already has decent cable management holes, arm yourself with some cable ties, remove the rear panel and see what you can route on the back side.
 
The best advice I can give is start from fresh.

Take everything out and then start again. Route as many cables as you can through the back plate, I hid the rest of my spare cables when I had a non modular PSU in the drive bay location so it was out of site.

Thats my cable management (in the first picture the graphics cards has no power plugged into it but when they are plugged in its still super tidy). I spent about an hour doing this and it's definitely with it

Looks much better, that looks like the only place you can route the power cables anyway, so you won't get much better than that.

I was quite amazed at how much wasted space you have at the top of the tower, your motherboard sits very low.

I was thinking that. Could have a cool side mounted reservoir there :P

Like Semple said, much neater, personally i would group the cables together like all the flat ones together with a cable tie so it just looks a little neater :)
 
It does look much better!
are you planning on upgrading your case anytime soon? (not that you need it, just curious)
