it is already quite ok, not messy at least, neat.try to route the PCI-E converter cable to behind the 3.5" tray and make it straight looks a bit better i guess.
It is up to you anyway, just satisfice yourself.

@Xeda
Maybe u could shift the HDD one level up to the center and route the power and sata cables coming out beneath the HDD... that would reduces the visibility of the wires around the HDD cage... If u can't get the PSU change u could give a try on sleeving and doing custom cables to extend the cable for gc and route it like what LittleLinnet suggested ... keep up men .. it takes time and experience before getting to the best result intended... |

Actually if I put the HDD 1 level up, it would be worse, cuz I've tried it before. And I'll try and get a new PSU once I have some budget. I need more power anyway, but currently broke.

u dont extend the cables on the PSU itself....u make ur own from scratch... go to an elctronics spare parts shop like those in jalan pasar and buy the cables, male and female molex, and male and female molex pins.

After warranthy habis which my rig maybe use as secondary rig or sell alrdy i intend to mod my cables. Now i currently using 2 Sata and no molex cables. So i intend to remove all the Y-split for the sata power cable, extend it, and keep only 2 sata cables directly from the PSU so that it will be neater. |

I thought the wires are long and able to play around with when comes to cable management ... . ... I almost gone for that PSU before ...
Anyway it would be good to be able to have the flexibility of extending the cables for better result... |

It's long but in between the last connector on the cable and the PSU, there is 2 Y-split cables which looks untidy since i want to only use 2 of the end connectors.Anyway it would be good to be able to have the flexibility of extending the cables for better result... |
