How to keep inside looking nice?

SAD_DC · 11-29-2005, 04:50 AM

HI..I was wondering if there is a safe way to keep all the wires from PsU in one bundle?

because there is a side window on my comp and it looks nasty with all of the wires everwhere...

thanks for looking...

You can use zip-ties or tape, just make sure that there not pulled too tight or else the prongs could pull out of the device. And the wires are coated, no need to worry about getting zapped... just make sure the psu is off, lol

lol most new psu's come with zipties seperating the wires into groups already

Wire sleaving is a good way to go, it looks nice. Zip-ties are cheap and work, just sometimes look tacky if you can't do it right. Personally some mesh sleaving and zip-ties look best i think. The ultimate solution is a modular PSU though as Praetor said, I wish I had one.
