Cable Tidying - Advice needed

[AdamAnubis]

Is there any special like kits you can get that make cable tidying easier? When i first built the PC, i used cable ties, but then when i got a new graphics card i got rid of them and havent replaced them.
My case really needs tidying - any advice/tips as to how best to cable tidy it all?

ask staffsMike.....

his case piccy is a thing of legend


i just shove things behind drive cages/mobo tray (if possible) or ontop of the opticals...

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1991 is the cheap way of doing it. Buying a modular PSU and a case that allows you to keep the wires around the back of the motherboard tray is the expensive way of doing it.

Here's the pic of staffsMike's case...*again*



I think staffsMike went with the expensive option. Maybe he should do a guide like Clunk's overclocking one.

I've done the P182 again since, looks much better now.

The eclipse was more of a challenge.

This is what it looks like now



Tbh, it's just about having a plan of how many cables you need to use and where you can feed them that doesn't look pig ugly lol

I bought the P182 and corsair HX later for a different PC and in terms of cabling it is much easier to get looking nice, just feed them all around the back of the mobo tray and it's pretty much done. I've got the switch and led cables feeding up through the hole between the bottom section and main section now which looks much better too

i must be getting old i was emailed some pix of nakid women that i deleted b4 looking at tham but i have just spent 5 min looking at those pix and dreaming
lol
nice btw

sorry forgot to answer the original question a pack of cable ties

[staffsMike]

lol, yeah i just use the cable wraps, like you may use on a sandwich bag. Find them to be better, more adjustable and less of pig to take them off if you need to,

that is so tidy...staffsmike do u do call outs

[staffsMike]

I'll see how bored I get over the summer

[AdamAnubis]

I'm tempted to post a pic up of mine as a comparison Its just cables everywhere from fans, power and sata cables. And yea, do you do call outs?

[HoldenBurn1000]

What case is that staffsMike? Im looking for somthing just like that!

[staffsMike]

The one with the grey inside is the Antec P182 the black one is an Akasa Eclipse 62.

This is the latest revision of it

else you can still get the eclipse for around £90 or the P182 on ebuyer this week for £75.

[HoldenBurn1000]

Ahh yer, didnt see you posted two lol. Its the grey one I like. Really like the idea of differnt areas for everything. Do you notice any upside to that? Or just a gimick?
I know its meant to "aid cooling" or whatever, but does it make any difference in your view?

[staffsMike]

Both cases cool about the same, but the P182 is certainly a much better basis for a silent build

[HoldenBurn1000]

Nice one, cheers! Must have read about 1000 case reviews in the last two days lol.

[s3ds]

this is how they should NOT LOOK

[Peter77]

How long cables do i need to hide them cos in my P182 is no possible to do it.
