How Can I Improve My Cable Management?

When I built the PC, I tried my best to make it look "not bad", but I don't think it looks like the best it can be. So, do you guys have any tips to make my build look nicer? What would you do with an HD Audio cable that has to go all the way over the motherboard before it can reach a cable hole?

 

And yes, I know that I don't have any case fans. RGB fans are surprisingly expensive, so I just play video games with the glass panel off.

If you're willing to bend your HD Audio cable... a lot, then simply route it through the tiny hole behind the bottom left corner of your case. (When looking at it upright with the side panel off.) Sure, it's a tight fit, and you might need to feed the cable through before fastening your motherboard down, but it'll hide it nicely.

Woah, I never even noticed that there was a hole there! I'll see what I can do about that.
