For the cathode fix.. you could just buy some Velcro adhesive strips and try to re-seat it, nice rig tho it could use some wire management.

It looks a lot nicer now, since you did tidy the cables. Blue LEDs is always nice.

Origami is better than under the mobo, under the mobo and ur soldering points could potentially damage the IDE cable.
