Reason being I have them cables ran that way, they are either to short, or there is no way possible to route them other wise, such as the P4 and molex going to the mobo... I have no other ways to route them, was planning on getting some wireloom to wrap them in. The fan under the video card does have a nb fan header right above the SATA connections, hence the reason you did see it... And as for the blue wire... I dunno, may just unhook it and hope the mobo dont throw off a no fan error code on start...
Edit: Also as for the paper, if I had the money I would have cut some sheet metal and painted that black along with the inside of the case to hide all the SATA cables for my SATA backplane as it is really cluttered with power cables and the such... As for the fan wires, I also have a side fan that hooks up into a connection near the psu so I just said screw it and left that there, may end up taking that fan out though.....
