Cable Management Recommendations

[kcnychief]

My cables are getting out of control. I was thinking of getting some velcro zip ties so they can be opened and re-used. Anyone have any cool racks or mechanisms for cable management?

Inside or outside of the case?

I use cable ties, although they can't be opened up like the velcro ones.

Sorry, I should have specified.

I want something for all the wires, from my speakers, monitor, PC, KVM, router, printer, and a partridge in a pear tree

As Grandmaster said cable ties work pretty well for that, I know there are kits you can buy for doing just this, they come with velcro I think. not sure on price though.

As for that partridge, might wanna call animal control on that one.

Ha, thanks for the tip on the partridge

As I don't want to go drilling in my new desk, it seems velcro ties (which I already have), is my best option.

Home depot and get some 3/4" flex tubing this will let you hide spaghetti. you can also get 1" tubing and the like.

Ohhhh, tubing.

GOOD idea

 

[Grandmaster]

Tubing is a good idea until you decide to move the location of all that crap around. Then you can have one dismantling everything first

(I speak from experience)

But if you aren't going to be moving it anytime soon, tubing would work well. I used to use tubing before doing the cable tie thing.

I was going to recommend tubing for the inside of the case, but didnt think it would be a good idea for the outside. It works great for the inside of the case, makes it very easy to condense budles of wires and such.
