guys i have such a mess in my computer as far as cables go and what not.i think its starting to restrict air flow a bit and causing higher temps. it would be nice to clear it out so any suggestions on materials? i have this case: http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails.php?lan=us&id=15300 if that makes things any easier. btw the one thing thats holding me back is my damn power supply! its got this material around the wires that makes it very unflexable (its a silencer 610 watt)

You don't need to go to such extremes but you could route some cables under the motherboard and buy some zip ties to tie up any unused cables. Also trying to route cables behind the motherboard tray helps a lot.
