    Reccomend some Wire Management

    I need to sleeve/loom/heatshrink my wires....i cant stand them and i want to add that touch to my case. Can anyone reccomend something that:
    A)looks good
    B)is relatively easy to work with
    C)no too expensive

    I like loom, but sleeving seems to always look better. Thanks

    I had that same problem as well in my case. I took a different approach. I just re-ran the wires in my case. Once I get home in 2 days, I will take pictures and post them on what I did. Pretty sweet looking and all you need are a few zip ties.

    You can use zip ties, they are cheap and don't look bad if done right. You could get the spiral wrap and go that way, also not too costly. The split tubing like used in cars looks nice and is available in colors, not really expensive. Going the sleeve route is more expensive and you have to remove the connectors to install it. Time consuming, possible wire damage( gotta be careful with those connector ends ) and more costly.

    Colored electrical tape looks good as well, provided you wrap it tight. Can get it cheap at a hardware store.

    I boughta few bags of different sized cable tubing. It is easily found in auto supply stores. It is a ridged tube that is split all the way down. Just slip the wires in and your good to go. Get 1 to 3 different sizes and a pair of scissors and it looks quite nice.
