Ever have problems with a tangled up mess of wires inside your computer case? Clean wiring makes future upgrades to the computer easier, helps with case airflow, and looks a lot nicer than wild wires. I have found a few different ways to keep wires very neat. These tips involve the wonderful Velcro straps, twisty ties, and a hiding spaces for all of the extra wires.

I had previously organized all the wires inside my case with twisty ties. The downfall of using strictly twisty ties is that every time I needed to add or remove a wire from my computer (I frequently add and remove wires from my computer) it involved untwisting several twisty ties and then re-twisting them. I solved this problem by using Velcro straps . Using Velcro straps, I can quickly add or remove wires from my computer, while keeping everything fairly tidy looking.

Once I get everything routed using Velcro straps, I then use twisty ties shorten cables that are to long. After I’m done shortening the wires and routing them, I then place any unused cables or cables with large amount of excess, behind the drive bays .

Once all of the cables inside the computer are bundled together, shortened, and hidden, the computer will have much better air flow and will look much cleaner. Additionally, future upgrades will now be much easier to complete. Use this project in combination with my Cheap Do It Your Self Cable Organization to get cables under control inside and outside the computer.
