Where do you buy your zip ties from?

[Nocturnal]

Do you buy it online? I tried OfficeMax/Depot and they both don't sell them.

 

[WobbleWobble]

I buy mine from the dollar store.

 

[BillGates]

Menards or Home Depot

I have a package of them from (*gasp*) Wal-Mart. I don't like to ziptie my cables, though..PITA to take them apart again.

 

[Tobolo]

Home Depot/Lowes

 

[goodoptics]

Fry's

 

[WhiteKnight]

Costco ... last time I bought a box of several thousand for less than $10. Shouldn't have to buy any more for life :laugh:

 

[So]

I got like 1000 from frys and haven't needed more. Lowes/Home Depot should have some.

 

[Nocturnal]

Ahh, yes, Home Depot. Didn't even think of that.

Like a power supply or chassis brand does matter!

The best cable ties are Thomas & Betts (T&B) - the ones with the rounded head and stainless steel locking tab. These are incredibly strong and come in varieties that withstand exposure to high temps and direct sunlight without deteriorating. They'll even hold the rubber boots securely around constant-velocity joint driveaxles!

Brand doesn't matter when you're sticking it in a case in a temperature controlled room, they're gonna be stationary, and you're going to pull them in less than a year to rebuild the box anyway.

For (some) automotive use you are correct, but for cables it really doesn't matter. However, this is coming from someone with a no-name chassis and Raidmax PSU
