Hi,
you can stuff the not used ends in the unused 5 inch bay.

QFT.

I usually keep an open bay for wires.

Zip ties work pretty well, and since they're cheap you can pretty much add one every few inches along a bundle of cables keeping them neat and tidy; though I do plan on only having that as a temporary solution until my cousin brings his dremel over. Hehehe, my air flow is OK in my Antec900, but thanks to being stupid and not buying a modular PSU I have what looks like a snake pit in one of the drive bays with spare cables.

I personally had tho same case though mine was a compaq, same company now anyways though. Theres absolutely NO space behind the mobo tray, you cant even open the other side of it lol. Theres also nowhere to tie things down. I eventually just got an antec 900 but the only thing i can think of is maybe using tape, tacky as it may be it should help hold things down

Folding? If you're not doing it, you should ask about how to.

I'll second that. Here's a couple pics of may case. I'm not saying it's a model example but I think it turned out pretty tidy for what it is and I think demonstrates the concept.

The 'good side'



Where the wires went....

Nice Job biff!!

Thats a work of art if you ask me, there was time when all that used to be on the other side. What amazes me is how much time it takes organize it all no doubt there was a few hours getting all that packed in there so neatly.
