I decided to redo the power cable routing since I had some ideas on how to route it better.
Sadly, routing the power cables along the front in the HDD compartment did not work out as the wires were blocking the power button assembly on the outer shell and there was just not room to route the cables there.
It took about 1.5 hours before ending up with a final routing, which I feel is the best possible routing for my particular setup. It's rather tedious, especially when I have to get cables through narrow gaps, or something doesn't work out and I have to redo the wiring, but I think it's a lot of fun. It just feels so good when it's all back together and I know I did a good job.
Here are some comparisons for your enjoyment. The size of the bundle of wires underneath the PSU is now small enough that the side panel closes easily without bulging out the window, and the clutter next to the GPU is reduced to about half.

I think this is as good as it can get until I get some CableMod cables.
What do you guys think?
