750D Cable Management

So I just built a gaming PC in the 750D with a fully modular PSU, and my cable management looks like absolute crap. I'm really unhappy with it. I think one of the reasons it looks so bad is because I had to use three SATA cables, one for each drive because I couldn't plug more than one drive into one SATA cable. Anyways, what do I do? I'm really unhappy with it right now.

 

Edit: I don't have a GPU yet, but when I do, it should be the GTX 780Ti or better.

Yeah, get some pics and tag me so I can help. I'm OCD with my cables.

The way that works for me is bundling together either cables that are running to the same location or cables that are similar to each other, and then strapping those to the chassis. But that's just how I do it.

I hate to say it, but it might be worth it to take it all out and redo it. Use twist ties, and put the 24-pin through the hole that's above where it is now. Then see what it looks like. If you can't get it to look better than my old computer (in the spoiler below) we have to talk. Granted, I have less cables, but I have to deal with no real cable management and IDE cables.

I don't know how I should tie anything and where it should go. It's hard to hide the cables of the H100i because of so many things to plug into the front.

If you could give us a better, wider picture of the inside, that would help.

You'll have to re-do it I'm afraid, but first buy some extension wires, ebay has MANY different extensions out there, and use as many zip ties as you can, once again, Ebay is your friend. 

Also, you could look around YouTube to see how they have done their cable management to get a few ideas.

If more than one cable is going to the same spot, get some twist ties and tie them together. Maybe put the H100i cables through where the 8-pin EPS connector goes if the cables are long enough. I wish I could just poof to your house and do it for you. :(

How about I get those ties that you cut off the extra when you pull the tie together enough?

If I can do that well with IDE crap and a non-cable-management-friendly case, imagine what I could do with the proper "equipment."

Those are a pain in the butt if you ever have to redo the wires or remove one. I wouldn't recommend it personally.

I can't use a twist tie to save my life.
