Internal wiring, etc.

So, I just completed my second build this morning. So far it's been running beautifully, but I just want to double check with you guys. This is a small case, so it was no picnic to firgure out where to put all the wires. Right now my computer looks like the picture shown below. Do you guys think this is fine, or is their an obvious issue I'm overlooking?

I edited your image into a link to keep the boards dial-up friendly.

Your wiring looks fine, the CPU fan and case fans have plenty of room for airflow. You might grab a bag of zip ties at the hardware store and go to town bundling the wires tighter. They work wonders for me.

O ok, thanks Just wondering, why do we keep the boards diap-up friendly? It seems to me like the majority of people browsing this site would be using a broadband connection...I don't know, I could be wrong though. Thanks again.

Yes, more people are going to a broadbad connection but there are a fair number of people here at the 'Mech that have dial-up as their only choice of internet due to living in a rural area or a city with no/limited broadband. They may be only on dial-up but most are PC enthusiats so they are treated the same as people with broadband.

Looks fine to me, but as Alaron mentioned you might want to get some zip ties and bundle the wires better...especially by the hard drive.
