Indeed. If the opposite side panel was removable, I could just shove some of that unused cable down that side.

Yep, the sad thing is that it doesn't even help that much that it's modular. Each cable has 2 x molex and 2 x SATA connectors. I need one cable for the molex power connector and floppy power connector on my Ultra-D mobo, and another molex for the rear fan. That leaves 2 SATA cables doing nothing. Same with the HDD - one molex is being used, another for the lights at the front of my case, with 2 SATAs being unused. And with the ODD - a molex used, one molex and 2 SATAs spare. So it being modular is kinda a moot point, at least for me.

Use care to not over tighten zip-ties on data cables. You don't want to squish them hard.

:Q my rounded IDE cable are bent all over the place at acute angles, folded, twisted etc. I have not yet seen a problem... will I?

Maybe it just me, but I don?t think the cabling is that bad. I have seen better and there is definitely room for improvement but I also have seen much worse. You seem to have a bunch of 5.5 bays free and you can run some of that extra cable in there and tie it up, which would clean your system up a bit, but it really isn?t that bad now.
Thanks, yeah it's not that bad, but could always be better as you said!
