    if you want pics ill get you some...the amount of wires shoved into empty drive bays is just embarrasing :/

    cheers,

    Nick

    you need a heat gun for the heat shrink sleaving

    You also get nylon mesh stuff, but i couldn't find it on the Maplin site. have a look here for other options

    100 pack of cable ties from maplin usually a couple of quid. I got mine from a bargain bin for 45p, because the label was ripped.

    Very handy - I use them to mount fans.

    Also used some with round elastic for HDD suspension in the lower cage of the P180.
