You can try running the smaller wires under the motherboard and then putting them in the small room behind the hard drive holders.

If you look at my case picture. You'll see that I rerouted my power and reset switch. There's a small hole where you can run the wires under the 80mm fan and then around the case.

Overall, your rewire looks good.

First of all, zipp-ty all remaining leads to a nice bundle and see if you can stack em eigther in a spare cd slot or as high as it wil let you. Also, use some zipp ty's to bundle the wires at the bottom of the case. Maybe you have enough lenght to bundle them and hide them behind the HD Bay. Must say for a 30 min job this is a mayor improvement already

is that plate on your tuniq upside down?

Real nice improvement over the original, props. And yes, You can try putting cables under the mobo if possible. Some case mobo trays have little channels that allow that.

one thing that made it a lot easier on me was the fact that i took out an old CD-Burner, a floppy drive, and an old 40GB maxtor5400RPM(any one can buy any of these if they want, i dont really expect much action for these tho), so that allowed me to have alot less wires in the case.

yah the plate for my tunqi is backwards but it works just the same.... putting my tunqi on was just a complete disater(long story) so once i relized it was on the wrong way to get the air flow direction that i wanted i just said forget it so instead of flippin the whole tower i just put the fan in the way i wanted it.

If you got rid of the cd burner, you will have a free slot to tug in all remaining cables from the psu, make one strand from the remaining cables wit zipp-ty's (yes i love those li'll things). Beeing you don't have a window in your case i personally would not bother going all the way with cable management, Just make sure that everything is organized nicely and out of the way from your coolers. This will impove airflow.

if u look back at my before pic you will see that my current cd/dvd drive is in the 2nd bay(u can see the lill eVGA tag on the wire comin from it) and all my extra wires are pulled into the top bay.
