how did you get the back side of the case on?
on mine, i have a hard time getting one cable width behind the tray and even then it bends the side a bit.

you have 5 times more cable back there than i do, i dont see how it could close up.

notice i have them flat and laid out singly as opposed to one bunch. It's not easy to get on and i hate it when i have to take it off but it fits firmly.

I took the extra SATA power cables, bunched them up neatly and fit them snug in a little gap just over the HDD cage and below the 5.25 cage. Your SATA cables can be a reason why you cant close up yours: those things are a pain. try to get them in the interior of the case and let your leads lie flat individually and you'll be cool.

I can probably do a 100% better job if i had some power tools but it works.

yea from what i have done it has been a pain.
but luckily i have a modular psu so that helps a ton.

i have to kind of route the cables around the predrilled holes because they stick out so far lol.
i will probably work some more on it this weekend and see what i can do.
