First time cable help?

Hey guys, this is my first time building a case from scratch, and I was wondering how my cables looked. Good, bad?
Did I do anything stupid?

Also, my 8-pin EATX, cable was a bit short, so it's in there really tight. Is this going to become a problem?

Thanks.

That is an outstanding job, you honestly could not have done anything better at all there.

Everything is clean and out of the way, there is no airflow obstruction, it looks great and what is more impressive, it looks very tidy from the back too!!

The P4 cable being tight will not matter at all. So long as the cables aren't pulling out and so long as you aren't pulling the port too much, it is fine

The cables being too stretched was worrying me a bit, so thanks for that :)
I did a bit of research before I started the whole thing, so I was hoping I didn't just have some stupid error I just missed >_<
 
Looks fantastic to me, puts my cable management to shame! What case is that you have there?

I don't really see any room for improvement at all, but I think black SATA cables would look nicer. I never liked the red ones that much.

The case is a Rosewill Challenger. I got it on Newegg for $40.

I'm planning to modify the side pannel and add a window to it :)

Yeah, the black SATAs would be a nice touch. I shall buy a few later on down the road!
