Just shove the excess cabling into the 5.25" Bay area so you can shut the case

Full of my hard drive and SSD :/

I think that's the 3.5" Bay you're referring to. The 2 cd/dvd drive bays at the top should be big enough to cram the wires in

CD drive still in there just not plugged in. But good idea I can just yank it out

I haven't looked in years, but you used to be able to get covers or dust filters that popped into 5.25 bays for a few bucks.

Also, those cables are flat, so you might be able to fold them in half and put them under the cd drive, but above the storage drives
