    ok, so you cut 'em up and stick them back together with black sticky tape. Humm, it dont look too good does it?
    Is there any way you can make them look pro- Like with that Heat-Shrink plastic or something, I cant stand that tape It looks and feels unprofessional!
    Post ya pics (If you have home-made rounded cables), ideas, comments.

    Cheers

    Split loom is another alternative to the above, as used by koolvin everywhere, and in my borg :

    Screwfix = a mail/internet order builder's merchants

    leccy = Electrical

    I got my split loom from CaseEtc in america, as did koolvin, but I think I saw somewhere in the UK that sold it, I just can't remember where....
