So many power supply cables

What do I do with them? I havn't gotten my parts yet, I get them October 4th, but I want to know what I do with them. Do I leave them all dangling? I don't have any tie wraps. I have the Antec TruePowerII 550w:

Does my power supply come with any wraps? It looks like it comes with something that wraps them up.

You have to get creative with cable management.

Otherwise sleeve the cables by yourself.

Can you tie them up in a loose knot?

I suppose, just dont mess with the ones that are in use. I like to use zipties and hid them behind the drive bays.

Go to a Home Depot and buy some nylon cable ties and tie the extra cables neatly off to the side somewhere.

These are pictures of my computers from a few years ago (they've since been upgraded a few times) and should give you an idea of what to do. My Antec SX830, my Antec KS382 and my InWinS508. You can find other pictures of case interiors in this thread.

A bag of zipties is only a couple bucks.
