Hiding Computer Wires

[GoodToGo]

How do you guys hide computer wires? I just built a rig that looks great but the wires are messing things up and makes it look fugly 🙁 Any suggestions?

behind the mobo tray or if it doesnt have it tray, it may still have a mobo backing

You might get some ideas from my photos of my modified Lian-Li: link

I used them cable ties and tighten the wires together looks more neat.

Ok, so what if your case is acrylic? Any good ways not to hide, but make them more presentable?

zip ties. lots and lots of zip ties. and cable origami, learn to fold🙂 couple 90degree folds and then you can slim the cable down with a few more folds. experimint. hide cables behind m/b tray if possible

Sleeving might be just the ticket 🙂 sleeving listed in the middle and there are some nice pics of sleeving in the link I posted before, too, as well as a link to MDay's sleeving guide.

If it's not too over the top, get some rounded fluorescent cables and throw a blacklight in there 😛 Not my cup of tea, but to each his own.

Check out the webbing that's used for climbing at Hudson Trail or REI outfitters. About .30/foot.
