    Just thought i would show you the asthetic benefits of split loom around your ide/power cables. This stuff can be bought at radio shack and costs about 3 dollars US.

    I did mine with their spiral wrap. About the same effect, but I think the spiral wrap looks better. Now if I could just find it in florescent colors.

    That stuff is the best but you have to admit that split loom and spiral wrap is much easier. You don't have to remove all of your connectors and shrinkwrap your ends. I think I would rather buy a sleeved PSU from Phire at performancePC before I yank my PSU out and deal with that mess.

    It all depends what you are willing to do.. :D

    The thing I don't like about split loom is its size; you get a few small cables inside a 1/2" diameter tube.
