can someone help me out?

i recently aquired my new pc and it seems like there is alot of clutter in it, wires sorta everywhere, what do u guys use as methods to clean that up? it seems like i have alot of wires sticking out everywhere and i dont know if its safe for them to be touching the mobo and the VGA and all that. maybe if any of you have any pics so i could get some ideas that would be cool. im just really cautious about these types of things i dont like to have anything break and such, but any advice about wiring would be nice, also i didnt put it together myself i had the guys where i bought it do it so i dunno if that means anything thanks.

Agreed. Hide wires under the mobo tray and use wire sleeves too. You may also go to home depot and buy those wire organizers (tube like plastic) that wrap around loose wires to make them look oorganized.

Velcro wire wrap. 5 feet for $14.50 (that includes the $5 shipping they want). Maybe you can find a place that won't charge quite so much for it.
It's nice stuff - use it on extension cords, other cables around the house, and of course, wires inside the PC.

Oh neat, I just noticed, they actually posted my review. Yay.

There's room in most cases to stash unused PSU connections and excess length between the ceiling of the case and the top of the upper-most optical drive. That's a start. Stick-on wiring clips, like those used in the above-linked photo, are readily available at Radio Shack, computer stores, and even Home Depot.
