easiest way is to get some Spiral Cut Tubing, you dont need to undo any molex connectors, just wrap the tubing around the wires. Outpost.com 1 pack will do 2 power supplies.

i used to "braid" my psu wires. no, I'm not talking about sleeving. I used to just twist the psu wires, and then tape it with electrical tape. kinda like the spiral covering but with tape.

Braid em all you want, just do it CAREFULLY!

My Friend in my dorm let a friend wire part of his computer. The guy didn't check his work and ended up connecting the Negative to Positive and Positive and Negative. It blew out his IDE Hard (his new 120), His MOBO, Samsung 181ft, power suply, and his Radeon 9700

BE CAREFUL!!

Wow and i thought it was bad when i fried my power supply when i soldered a 5V line in the wrong spot on my custom baybus. Ended up shorting the 12 and 5 rails, fried my power supply, but not before it melted the insulation on the wiring of the baybus. Last time i'll be careless =P
