Options for cleaning up wiring to PSU?

My set up is still in it's infancy therefore it's pretty crude. What are some options to clean up wiring?

Right now, I'm using a Dell GX270 and I have +, - , & acc running out of the square hole where the power supply used to be. I don't like how the wires just dangle outside of computer. I would like to put some kind of quick disconnect/wire harness on the body of the computer but not sure if anything like that exits.

Any ideas for this newb?

(Mods, please move if this is in the wrong section)

the only problem with that is the power wire is 8awg.

good point, i did not consider wiring size when i made the comment.

goto a local electrical supply store, that carries industrial electrical stuff, and look around, hell even a twist-lock plug might do the job, but i'm sure you can find something smaller then that to use
