Just get a new PSU (preferably modular, or without rainbow cables) altogether. This PSU is seems to be quite old.

I know that would be the easiest solution, but its old but gold; 800watts isn't super cheap (plus its got rgb), and I'd rather not get a new one. It's just a looks concern, so it's not super necessary, and I'd rather not invest a lot, but it would be nice yknow.

Thanks for the advice though!

If you are after custom cables and don't mind a bit of extra length I would recommend cable mod's extension kits. They are relatively affordable and you can edit the colour in their configuration. You will probably only need to get a 24 pin ATX connector, an 8pin EPS connector and 8/6 pin PCIe connectors depending on your graphics card :)

How about those spiral cable organisers? They'd cover up partially, some black material underneath and it'd be completely hidden. Can be cut to length easily enough too, and they're cheap af.

For sleeved extensions they will work on any PSU since it just extends the original connections. Places like Cable Mod, Phanteks, Bitfenix and such have good options.
