I'm incredibly happy with the build quality. Cables were so neatly tied up I had to undo some of the handy work to get at my two frontal USB cables (to plug them into my NZXT adapter).
Here are a few pics:

Looks really neat. I have a custom built ancient Q660 go stepping in a Thermaltakte M9 (old, I know). The cable management was cowboy standard.

To be honest whilst the overall quality of the cable management is good in my system which I ordered, I was very disappointed to find several molex, 6/8pin connectors and SATA power cables stuffed into the HDD rack area which proved quite a hinderance when I was installing my own 2 HDD's.

Problem with those two is that they usually have like 3-4 connectors on one cable, and if you only order one HDD, the top one or bottom one or somethign will be used and you're left with 3 others to lodge somewhere very very near to where the first was connected. =[ Originally Posted by Gishank

Unfortuently I couldn't use the SATA power cables provided (other than the one that was already attached) because they weren't loose enough to manuver them correctly or get them to face the right way, so I decided to use molex adapters.

Had some trouble when installing my own HDD into the machine. Otherwise, I'm alright with the cable management. I've worked on worse casings like the CM330 Elite.
My SATA power cable for my secondary sticks out oddly due to the angle at which it's been placed. Otherwise, it's okay.
I stuffed the other molex connectors etc into the HDD rack as well. LOL.
