How can i do it? I've heard of some funny things but i dont understand them. one is right angle molex connector? another is heatshrink. How does that work. And mesh. I already have a little mesh that came with the antec trupower 430 but dont know where i can get some and what to ask for.
Cheap is good.
thanks.

You could always resort to electric tape, unless you're looking to create a masterpiece:cool:

Split Loom tubing... Can get it at radioshack or somewhere similar. Works wonders. Not the best way probably, but works well enough.

tubing is too big and lumpy, anybody got links for mesh? It seems nice.

No, it's a flexible tube with an angled cut spirled down the length.

I just moved this over to General hardware for you guys, since it really has little to do with air cooling ;).

It's not heatshrink. It's split loom. Notice the spiral in it. That's how you put it over the wires. Hence the name.

Go to NAPA auto parts, get a roll of wire loom for 10 bucks (50 feet). It is long black tubing with a vertical slice down the side. Just tuck all of your wires into that and stretch it along your system. It works good and comes in sizes from 3/4 to 1/4 inch. It looks alot nicer than spiral loom.
That mesh stuff is just a length of nylon screen wrapped around a cable with heatshrink tubing at the ends to hold it tight.
If you want to remove molexes, get a crap load of those little coffee stirrer sticks. Slide one of the tubes each copper thingy, and pull the wires out the back.
