The thing about it is that it's taking the heat from the source right away.

Cable management is one of the easiest ways to cut down on your heat. I might suggest that you use round IDE cabling. What I do for my extra PSU cables is hold them together with the natural bending form they are in...then get a small cable tie and pull it taught, not tight, but taught. If you have extra room in your case underneath the cd-rom or dvd-rom, place the cabling there.
