For the cathode fix.. you could just buy some Velcro adhesive strips and try to re-seat it, nice rig tho it could use some wire management.

It looks a lot nicer now, since you did tidy the cables. Blue LEDs is always nice.

Very nice. 7/10. If your adventurous, try and run that ribbon cable under the Mobo or try some oragami with it. Very nice look overall.

Origami is better than under the mobo, under the mobo and ur soldering points could potentially damage the IDE cable.
