Would it be safe to tape some wires using scotch tape?

I'm rewiring my case and I have run across a problem. Since I started by putting all of my wires behing my mobo tray and then pulling them foreward when I need one (all the while trying to keep my case as clean as possible). my question is: Can I tape myspare wires to the back of my mobo tray using scotch tape? In all of the pics Ive seen, they used duct tape. will there be a difference? Help!
 
As long at they're insulated wires (you didn't scrape the plastic/rubber stuff off them), then you can hold them back there with whatever you want. (zip ties, any kind of tape, twisty ties, gum 😉, whatever)



 
temperature tends to cause scotch tape to let go...electric or duct tape is best if you dont want to retape every few days
 
I have parcel tape on some of my wires, but they are in low-temperature conditions (ie: 35c at the max I would guess).
So yes, it is safe.
 
Why use tape at all? Plastic twist ties are neater, cleaner, and easier to tie wires back with.

Tape leaves sticky residue - any kind - duct tape is the worst for that.
