Don't bundle video cable with speaker wires (creates hum)
If you have TOO much excess speaker wire --and bare-wire connectors ... just cut out the excess/strip off new tips.

... um -- I don't see any kind of a surge suppressor there at all-- are you plugged straight into the wall?? If so--you might want to look into some kind of protection-- especially considering an Alienware with 4 Raptors... one short power-surge and ... poof...!! All gone.
