I need some tips on wire management, my board and cpu are running a bit hot and i wanna get better air flow through the case, to see if it will help any, plus i want to make it look neater, instead of looking so messy, with wires everywhere.
Heres a pic, what do you suggest i do with the wires?

tie wraps are your friend. :D

to be fair you can do a lot with tie wraps, bundle wires together so they dont fan out so much, fix them into place around drive bays etc.

Also if wires are long enough you can route some behind the motherboard so as to keep the main area clear etc.

round cables for your ide data instead of flat cables will help too
 
I'd say the best way to go at it is to unhook all the cables and re connect them one by one in the most efficient way possible with the aid of some tie wraps.
 
Mega's idea is good....you'd be amazed how much neater you can run them sometimes.

Get some round IDE cables, and for the power cables you can just use cable ties/wraps to keep them all together in neat bundles.

Make sure that the fan on the bottom front of the case is sucking air INTO the case, and the rear top fan should be sucking air OUT of the case...also see if you can change them to 120mm fans.

I was thinking about getting cable sleeving, would that help much?

It would work, might take a while and it costs money. But you can try if you want. I would personally recommend Mega's idea, easier to do, cheaper if you don't already have any, and it only takes about 10 minutes. Cable sleeves could take as long as 4.
 
Also, use the other side of the mobo tray. Take off the other side of the case and there is space there for cables as well.
