That's a good idea. ^^^ The other thing I will mention is that, for me, cable organization means organizing it in a way that it's unseen in your normal setup, or seen as little as is reasonably possible. But for the stuff that's hidden out of site, yeah, that's pretty much a big mess. |

I originally had used just regular zipties to keep everything together and it was great, but then a big move came and it was an absolute pain to cut every single ziptie just to pack everything up. Also, if you decide to zip certain wires together to declutter as much as possible you better hope you never have to move your consoles to another room or anything. I've been looking for a good alternative recently, but considering I plan another move soon, it seems pointless. So I'll deal with hideous wire clutter for now lol |

Cutting the excess can leave a sharp edge to cut you later. |

Thanks for the heads up! --- Quote from: Tech13 on April 14, 2018, 04:23:58 PM --- With Zipties I always rab the excess and twist it off with plyers. I never cut them.

They sometimes are definitely sharp as can be once you cut them though. |
