bilston Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Those cables are a pain in the arse m8, they're just so big I have trouble organising ANY kind of cable routing. I just tape most of them along the metal edges so that they don't restrict airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liar2 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 get some twisty ties. those work like a charm. and you can take as many as you like from your local supermarket in the produce department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jago6498 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I use a combination of zip ties and spiral tubing. Bilston is right, those machine rounded cables are a pain in the a$$ to bend and flex because the plastic sheath is too thick. I just a generic cheap IDE and Floppy cable and split every few wires with an X-acto knife (took me a half hour for each one). For the spiral tubing you can either check your local hardware store or Fry's Electonics (if you are on the west coast). You can also buy them from here from KD Computers. It only cost me less then $5.00 per cable and they are ALOT more flexible then the machine rounded cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I made my own, just took my pocket nife and cut every four cables, very very very carefully. Then I tightly wraped it with eletrical take (the black tape.) 2 sets of cables Money spent. $0.00 Money saved. $50.00 ( roughly 25 dollers a cable, around here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jago6498 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Ok, I finally had time to take a picture of my homemade IDE and Floppy cables. I actually just reorganized them a little better a few days ago. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
