I don't see a problem with tucking any cables away, as long as you're putting any major strain on the cables themselves, or putting them somewhere where they'll be exposed to high heat.

no tucking cables away is generally a good thing as it will improve airflow through your case just make sure you dont damage the wires or leave them touching moving parts where they could cause problems - mainly fans

I prefer split flex tubing to hide all the cables.You can find it at Home Depot or any auto mod shop.

I have all my cables in wire loom so it makes airflow a little better...but I still them away as needed.
