Tidying up cabling

[milomak]

I need something to use to keep the wires for my computer tidy. I once bought this tube type thing which has something you can use to pull all the wires through the tube (great description yeah!). For the life of me I can’t remember what it was called or where I bought it.

What do you use?

Another option is clipboard clamps so you can remove individual wires if it need be.

Spiral Band/Wrap - comes in various colours

Thanks. Handy Cable Zip Wraps seem to be what I was referring to (http://dx.com/p/handy-cable-zip-wrap...m-length-35491)

I use Velcro... cheap as chips and you buy it in long rolls.

Just velcro up your ****e. You get it in all colours so just go for black. It looks good and you can add and remove individual cables when needed.

There are some tips at:

You can make your own DIY cable box out of a plastic fridge container / lunchbox. If there are power components going in there then it may be a good idea to add some cooling holes.

The long roll of Velcro is still one of the best ways of keeping things under control.
