Cable Sleeves

[pvr02]

Do they sell cable sleeving that instead of having to remove the molex connectors to put them on they have velcro attached and you just place it over top?

They have wire loom.  It is split down the middle.

or you could use duct tape.....i used the fancy pants orange flourescent duct tape. and its pretty lookin.

The only thing is that stuff will be harder to bend into a 180 degree angle and shove in corners of cases.  I'm trying to find something that I can put nice and tight over them and still be able to bend them easily.

I use what byteme posted but in black to route my wires out of the back of my case through. Though I couldn't fit them all in it worked nicely. Though mine's plastic and slit in the middle so you don't have to fish it all through. It just won't bend as well as you want

[neb1211]

You could always use electrical tape.  That is what I did and it works great.  You can get it is different colors too.

[acemaverick1381]

Hell, any kind of PVC, adhesive, or even some old soda cans could work.

You can get it at home depot. Thats where I got mine.

[acemaverick1381]

Right, its not like you have to go to NewEgg or TigerDirect to get it. The stuff from Home Depot/Lowes is all the same, plus its probably cheaper.

What the hell lol

[acemaverick1381]

You could fashing a  nice one with some old soda cans and some tape. Just cut off the top and bottom of the cans, and stick the wires through. Keep adding soda cans and taping them togtether until it is long as the wire. It could bend quite nicely, but it might break since its Al. I guess you could call it the techno-redneck way of doing things.

[JsutTechy]

Techno-redneck it is. I'm gonna keep this one in mind haha.

[neb1211]

I think you are forgetting the fact that aluminum conducts electricity.  That could and probably would cause problems down the road.  Also a soda can is much wider than you would need for wires.  Even those energy drink cans are too big for the purpose.  In most cases you would only need something that is 1/4" to 1/2" wide.

i used electrical tape, it works nice, cheap.

[acemaverick1381]

Not going to do it the techno-redneck way? Ah well, I'll find someone else to join the group of techno-rednecks even though I'm not one. I'd love to see a wire coating made out of tin cans though.

[JsutTechy]

Don't you mean alluminum?
I'd do it if I had enough soda cans, but I haven't had one in like 2 months...

[acemaverick1381]

I have more than enough cans...I'm sure you know how much I love soda.

[pcgeek]

/me is not a techno redneck, just cheap.

[neb1211]

I also used electrical tape and it works quite good.  It isn't as flexible as the wireloom or heat shrink but it also only costs 25 cents

[aliencam]

well at places like ace and home depot and lowes they stll the liquid electrical tape, the paint on stuff, that works great too, and when you peel it off it doesn't leave anythign sticky.  you always could get white liquid electrical tape and then paint that up with something UV reflective also. that would be cool...


but why not just use zip ties? thats what i use on one computer, just put aother tie every 1/4 in. and you're fine... lol

oh instead of soda cans, break the neck off of glass bottles and string them through there, you might want to sand down the sharp glass ends tho... lol or just sut up all the sires in your case, either way.
 

[neb1211]

yeah I would think that glass bottles would work a little better.  At least glass doesn't conduct electricity like the cans would...

[pcgeek]

all those bottle necks would definatly add some weight lol.

I dont' think you could fit many cables through beer bottles or anything like that, but maybe if you go for something like Snapple or Arizona..

Actually you probably could fit quite a few cables through the neck of a beer bottle.  You would just have to remove the molex connectors but such is the case with a few other cable management solutions out there.
