Easy wire management!

This was over on mod nation's fourms a while back, i couldn't find it here, so i'll post it.

An ingenious way to twist your wires, psu, anything. all you need is a drill!

simply put your wires (i can make it work with molexes, fan connectors, seta connectors, and even a mobo connector (took a little drill mod)) then hold or vice clamp the other end, put your drill on clockwise and let er rip...

be careful with your speed at first, but once you get used to it, you can twist a molex fan in about 15 seconds!



extra touch: with a blowtorch or even a lighter, u can heat the wires so the casing melts a little and they'll stick to eachother and stay twisted!



some pictures:

these pics show bare wires, again, as long as you can get the drill to grip it, you can do anything

Yea, i've been doin' that for years with custom car audio installs :p Great trick but almost useless on such a small run. Neat nonetheless.

i wouldn't call it useless.. :4-thatsba :4-thatsba :4-thatsba

it's great for running fan wiring under the mobo! :chgrin:
Fan wire will already fit nicely under the mobo...so will all the PSU cabling.
well yes, but now it fits and it doesn't get all spread out and crap... and it looks cool

:p can't beat that!
Use a cable tie and it wont spread out all over the place. I prefer the style where it looks like a spring (curls) as supposed to twisted in a computer.
well.... i use it, it's a cool tip. so yeah i'm not gonna change my opinion or delete the thread :)
Thats ok...Everyone has their own views on everything. There is no option for you to delete the thread. Only mods and admin can do that.
Hi,

No need to even consider deleting the thread. Everyone has their own idea on what looks neat and this is a nice tip for those who want to explore with creating a mod case. I would guess those of us who do Mod a case from time to time will try all methods and this one is kind of neat.

Have a great day and as always, all ideas are welcome.

I didnt say it looked rubbish etc. I just said I preferred a different style to your method.
