Looking for cable management advice in custom case

Hey all,
 
I've been designing a 12"x12"x12" custom case for a couple months now and I need some final advice on how to route my cables. Here're a few renders, because they explain what I'm making much better than I could with words:

My HDD and SSD are beneath the motherboard tray in this configuration. I was thinking of routing those power cables down in the corner between the front and left panels next to the radiator, but if anyone has a better suggestion I'm all ears. The rest of the cables I just need to find places to coil (I'm getting adhesive zip tie mounts so I can do that pretty much anywhere). Again, if anyone has suggestions I'd be glad to hear 'em.

What do you mean by middle? They're centered front-back and symmetric around the centerline.

They seem to be nicely alligned with the screwholes.

 

I actually wanted to make a design like this as a case to suggest to someone. Back in the day, you know, when I had time to draw random stuff...

I think the only way to make this layout work is the short cable kit from Silverstone or custom wires.

Ah crap. Guess I can just run with what I got and get shorter ones if I need 'em.
