ok, heres where I come in....trust me this will work

Take EVERYTHING out of your case...

(1) Take all your wires and organised them by location and desitnation, (where are the bulk of your wires going too...

(2) Take off the other side of your case and make a spot to run cables behind your motherboard

(3) Get a hot glue gun and put some of those wires on the bottom of your case in a neat fasion

(4) get some black zip ties and shorten cables enough so you can run them along your case to their destination

(5) I suggest getting some 4" or 12" cold cathodes and run them along the botten left hand side of your case. Color is up to you but I recommend blue. Get these for like $4-7 at this location. Theres your $10 being put to work. Even though you said you have uv lights they don't do much unless you have some damn uv stuff to begin with, so get these basic cathodes and that will really show off what you have.

(6) The other side of your hard drive and optical drive tower inside your case look like optimal places to run cables, try that

(7) Don't be afraid to solder and cut away useless cables you won't use.

(8) The overall rule of thumb is that your computer needs to look clean and tidy before any lights and stuff can be applied....otherwise it just looks like a hack job that was rushed.

Hope you like my steps and most of it was free except for the lights, clean up your case and get those lights for cheap and you will be stylin in no time....hop I helped
