As long as the cables are connecting all the devices and there is no unneccesary stress on them, then its not a problem. Put them anywhere you like. of course, it woul dbe better to use a non-conducting material like plastic to do it (get some zip ties)

One way that will help out a lot is if any of the IDE or Floppy headers are on the back edge of the motherboard (like the floppy on the AOpen AX6BC). Hook up the cable before placing the motherboard in the case and run the cable under the motherboard (so it is between the case and back side of motherboard when installed) to the front of the case where your drives are. Simple fix that can greatly improve air flow.

One of the most effective ways to clear the "Cluter" is to use a razor blade to make individual cables out of the large HDD, CDROM, and FDD cables. Just use the razor to make a small incision between a few of the individual wires, bunch those together with an inexpensive zip strip, and there you go.
