    #63 Re-attaching the exaust onto your car - life saver when you're 100 miles or so from home with no cash...
    #64 attaching your tools to your desk so no ****er steals them.
    #65 chewing them like a farmer chews grass. Not sure why people do this but they seem pretty adictive. Don't do cable-ties kids!

    We need picture examples for everything.

    Sad thing is I only use zipties for what they're meant for...cable management. And never inside the case, I only use sleeving for that. I just carefully route my cables... using those tiedown things is annoying if you ever move anything around.

    Ok, typically used for if you wanna get technical. And I'm talking by more than modders. There's a reason they're often called cable ties though. Note the thread title :)
