    I'm getting ready to build a new comp over the following weeks. As far as tidy PC wiring goes, I've used wire looms, cable sleeving and zip ties to name a few to control the rat's nest. I know Voodoo PC is renowned for their wiring jobs. I've seen a few grainy shots in the mags, which still look amazing, but they aren't detailed enough to show how they do some things. Does anyone on this board own a Voodoo PC and if so can you post some high res detailed shots of the wiring in one of those machines? I really want to give this cable folding thing a crack this time around with my new machine.

    I don't own one, but Bill (mnpctech) has posted a link that might be of some use to you here.

    Just tinker with it until you get what you want. Folding right back under the motherboard is a good place to use up length, learn when to do 45 degree bends, etc.

    Old pic of one of mine.

    It's not as easy nowadays with graphics cards needing 6-pin VGA power connections or two.

    Here's what mine looked like way back when... :sigh:
