The panels on my cases are solid (opaque).  However, I'm still neat in
routing the cables not only to avoid them getting into fans, but also to
prevent them from blocking or slowing air flow.  Typically I buy cases
that have both side panels removable.  Then, with the right-side panel
removed, I can route the cabling underneath the mobo plate to return
inside the case nearer the endpoint for the cable connection.  I can
also tuck extra cable lengths into the unused drive bays.  I can't see
that tape will ever last long enough to permanently retain the cables.
However, there are self-stick cable stays or clips that can help hold
the cables out of harm and out of air flow.

I like modular PSUs, so I only connect the minimum number of cable looms
to the PSU as are needed for actual connections to the mobo and devices.

Also, the shroud around the cable harness is not for shielding, just for
looks.  You can slice that off to make the harness a lot more flexible.

Some folks like a LED aquarium for the case.  Their mobo has pretty
LEDs, so do the fans, and a slew of other LEDs to prettify the interior.
In fact, some folks attach Christmas lights (LED tubes) for more color.
And RGB control in the BIOS lets them have the LEDs change color, change
at intervals, or change according to the sound output.  Took me awhile
to figure out how to disable most of all that prettify crap on a new
build.  Looks at all the users that buy prettily colored keyboards, or
noisy up their Windows desktop with slide shows or changing pics which
afford no information, just inane customization.
