I think that in pictures 1&2, the cables on top of the HDD would actually be restricting the airflow, especially over the top of said HDD.
Is there a way you can re-route them towards the back at all?

Looks neat overall though. Very tidy :)

i dont think its restricting cause if u look the cables are above the fan, and its too close at that point to spread air there anyways, maybe im wrong but its fine for me, im not doing any crazy overclocking so i should be fine

I think you did great, nice and clean.
I wish I could do the same to mine. I've tried but this is the best I could come up with...
10 pounds of krap in a 5 pound bag.

Yea, the Apevia is a real PITA to work with considering cable management.
But if I had a good modular PS I think I could really clean it up. Any suggestions for 800 watts?
