Cable Management

Was not shure the best place to put this post so if in the wrong section sorry.

Anyways i am looking for good cable management solutions, not braiding don't like the idea of taking all the connection of the wires.

Braiding seems like the most talked about but can anyone recommend good alternatives that work, look good and simple to setup.

You could look at "spiral cable wrap". Not sure if Overclockers do it or not but if you search for that you can get it from loads of other retailers

is there any way of posting the cables behind your motherboard? if you can do that it makes it look a lot neater with no need to buy anything

I should be getting a new case next week at some time (If i ever decided what one I want that is lol been looking for a month).

Sadly my psu is not modular and room is lacking in my current case. So I shall wait until I receive my new case and see what/if i need anything.

im not really a expert on cable management, and i have no idea on your budget, but theirs a coolermaster HAF 912 going at a attrative price on OCUKs web

also their are some other cases with calbe management systems in place that are good value as well, a budget and a hint of the kind of style that you like in cases would help narrow the results for what may suit you best as well

I have an idea of what I want already just cant decided between a few. I intend to spend a very max of £130 on a case and at that price range most cases are rarely good and it depends on personal preference.

Sadly pics and youtube vids only show so much and because I cant see them up close myself struggling to decide.

ps dont say HAF X the ugliest thing ever seen in my life lol

Yeah some cases some with their own features to help with cable management. If not then its just a case of shoving excess cable into spare crevices.

I have a few unused PSU connectors hidden above my DVD drives for example.
