What do you guys do with all the extra wires that are not used and probably never will be? I am thinking about just cutting them off due to the fact if I ever build a new PC I'll probably get a new PSU anyway. But what are other options to make the case look nice inside?

In the past I've done everything from tucking them out of the way to opening the PSU and unsoldering them. If you cut them, do it inside the PSU so nothing shows leaving tails you can later attach to if needed. Oh, and make sure you insulate them properly--I like the plain black heatshrink from Home Depot, 99 cents a pack.

I have never bought from them though, but they have decent prices.

I also spotted some at Home Depot yesterday, pretty cheap. They also had various sizes of wire ties and heatshrink. If anyone live close to Home Depot you might want to check them out.
