Sorry, I'm confused. You want to hide the outside wires inside case? or you want to hide the inside wires, inside the case? or you just want to hide that complete mess of outside wires?
Sorry Liono, my wicked humour coming out, it's this Saga I've been suffering. Well! Now to the point, I was at a computer show last year, and there was a chappie showing ways of tidying up the wirey tangle, using various types of man made flexible tubing. I tried it myself when I got home, and got myself in a complete tangle.
I think the best idea is to just let it lay at the back, out of sight, out of mind, I've been told. Otherwise I . .

I think he want the wires in the case to be not only neat but he doesn't want them to impede the free flow of air.
I'm sure www.tigerdirect.com or www.newegg.com has either ties or sheaths that "tidy" up the inside wiring.

Well in my old system i had made some modifications including wire neating.
First of all i have to use some straws(!)which i pass all the wires through them and bed them with double tape(i dont know the exact word for these tapes that you can use both sides  )
If i could not pass the cable through because of the connectors ,i had to cut them to their length and just lay the cable inside them.
I also use some wire strandings which you can put the cables and mount them to the box.
I have to notice that in some cases like the CDs/DVDs and HD cables i had to use some cable extenders.
Its a pending to do the same job to my new system...
I place a photo here...I hope it is more helpful than my words.
