dont waste your time ordering it just go to advanced auto, or autozone or somewhere like that they have loom there.

JC Whitney has a bunch of cool stuff for modding.

Split Loom in blue, purple, red, teal, and yellow

Spiral Loom in metalic red, chrome, or gold

Yeah, I've bought it from Pep Boys and JC Whitney. Here is some cool looking stuff too... http://www.streetglow.com/site/auto11.htm
Click on the "color chart" button. Nice looking stuff!

Glad I could help! You gonna get some of that stuff? I'd like to see some photo's of the finished PC if you do.

I just went to Autozone and picked up some "RED" and "Black". Used it on mine. Cheap and it was local instead of having to order online. They had Red, Blue, Black, Chrome colors. Then picked up some red ties to help keep the wires in the loom.

Wire management is so critical to a system; people really tend to ignore how important it is to keep those wires neat; especially when you have a 400watt PSU like mine and you're using more cables than the San Franciso Golden Gate.

I had the same problem but I went to Alienware and Falcon sites and looked at how they do their cables and got a pretty good idea on how to make my cables look neat.

Also go to HOMEDEPOT if you have one nearby because they also have those split cable covers or you could look for this type of rubber that would shrink and basically cover and bundle your cables.

Most companies, houses, buildings, and other infrastructures use cable trays to organize or manage cables and wires for better appearance and safety issues.

its always the morons that raise these dead threads from the past and NEVER read the freaking threads or postings to have any clue what the OP was asking or why they started it, only to offer equally moronic advice.

I can't stand people raising old threads from the dead that are years old. For gods sake people look at the freaking date!

even if that weren't an issue, its the fact their commenting on Cable trays that are used in Server environments and business environments, these have nothing to do with Consumer level Internal Casing Wire management that is the topic of the thread.

Shrink Tubing, Zip Ties, sleeving, etc, not some metal trays that mount on a wall or desk to "manage" cables on.

It is even stupider than that,

those are the kind they use in a power plants and factories, to carry heavy cable weighing tons.They hang from the ceiling, and are rugged and big enough for a man to walk on, like a bridge

1 section is 8' or 10 ' long
