To be honest, I think you'd be best going down to the DIY shop and buying some of that plastic braiding stuff (Usually sold as TV cable tidy kit or something like that but it's basically just a plastic conduit which splits apart to allow you to put cables in and is flexible) and a bag of zippy clips (Plastic cable ties, not the ones with a metal strip down the middle 
) I then normally stick any unused cables in a spare drive bay and zippy clip the rest to the left side of the drive cages

The easiest way is to get some spiral wrap. Akasa do a kit that includes some zip ties etc, basically you twist it around the wires. Theres other colours around the net aswell.
Another choice is cable loom, as mentioned above. This stuff is slightly harder than the spiral wrap, but by no means difficult. I had trouble finding some, in the end i found some in a £1 store. Needless to say i'm not using it anymore because it made the case look too bulky
Theres always cable braiding kits. This can be quite tricky because to do it properly, you need to remove every plug from your powersupply, and shrink wrap it on, i attempted this and failed :< The kit i got was about £15 i think.

Depends which size you get
I got fairly small stuff when I did it and it looked fine. I've also used black flexible conduit which works in the same way as the above (But probably looks better) Should be able to get that fairly easily from an electrical retailer.
