Loom is without a doubt the best stuff to use for your cables. I stopped at AutoZone yesterday and picked up 10 feet of yellow loom and put in my case.

10 feet of loom!

I think 6 feet would suffice, And stay out of electrical tapes

I just learned that it's a big NO.

After I post this stuff, I am going to get rid of those nasty tapes... Heat shrink at last (very hard to find one..dis is the philippines U know). thanx to AI for pushing me to find heat shrinks.

Your Evilness (Eviltechie), your not forgotten...ThanX for the electrical tape realization.

*LOL* naw I already went to school and am a certified 12V install tech and have worked for the gov and also private owning two companies! Electrical tape sucks and sucks hard core if your an installer. If you tried to use electrical tape say at Boeing or say for car audio, or even general use you usually get looked at crosseyed, sorry for being harsh but the whole electrical tape thing usually makes me annoyed for it is reserved for people that do not wire very much, I hope you take the advice with an open mind and go to loom and heatshrink. Electrical tape is just a mess and over time causes more problems than it is worth.

OK OK OK, I got u'r point fellas, I'm a person who's open to any suggestions that are beneficial (Such as Electrical tapes sucks hard core!).

No harm done, and I'm changing my point of view about that nasty stuff.

I did a post about affirming to u'r suggestions. I've finished replacing those nasty ETs on my PSU cables with Heat shrinks. U'r right it's easier to install and better looking too. Soon I'l post the pix of my gear.

Thank U AI & U'r Evilness for making me realize.

Now, are there any problems?

BTW, AI, what is a 12V install tech?

Other stuff aside from loom?

I am supposed to say "Wrapping the cables with Electrical tape" but I don't do that anymore (C AI & U'r Evilness, I've changed) I'll kill anyone I C using those nasty stuff on thier PC.

Maybe I'll mod my PSU on my old Pentium 200. This time I'll use this "Coil like" thing i saw on a China Mart. It looks like a cord of a telephone.
