Couple questions

[1sikbITCH]

I've just bought my first pre-modded case, with a nice window, blue cathode light, and plenty of fans. Now I'm all excited and have a couple questions I haven't found the answer to. I'm sure I could keep searching more but then I wouldn't be able to draw upon everyone's invaluable input

First, I have a 400 watt power supply that has a rediculous amount of wires that just take up the whole case, no matter how I try to tape and lasso them out of the way of my new window. I've seen pictures with the wires all bundled up in pretty cables. I haven't seen them at the few sites I've visited. What is the proper name of these cables so I can search for them?

Second, is this product below a waste of money or a good idea for my Volcano 11? I wouldn't really have the room for it until I can get rid of all the wires anyhow.

I'll post some pics tomorrow of my new case and hopefully get some pointers and suggestions from you guys.

Ok, found the heatshrink

In addition to heatshrink you can also use split loom tubing. I picked some up fairly cheap at my local Home Depot. I tried the heatshrink (I assume you also mean some nylon cable sleeving, since doing all your wires in heatshrink seems like a serious pain ) Like this. I tried the cable sleeving and heatshrink and made a mistake and put the two black wires into the molex backwards and my 400 watt Antec ended up getting fried. Thankfully it didn't take any components with it, though only the motherboard and a couple fans were plugged in at the time. If your carefull (ie; not like me) this looks great (the sleeving/heatshrink) I like the simplicity of split loom tubing. I couldn't mess it (of another PSU) up. Maybe I'll try again though.

Ahh very good idea. I'm off to Home Depot in the AM
