A neat way to tie up cables, PC cable management

Take an ordinary PC power supply cable. Fold it once, so that both
ends meet. Then fold it again. Then simply tie it as if you were
starting to tie a square knot, but only a single tie. That works for
all sorts of cables. It might not be good for some of your home
theater stuff. I do use it for video cables, but they are tied very
loosely.

Good luck and have fun.

I use these inside and outside the case for a really neat look.

You can double them or cut them in half.

They work great for plenty of other things, too. I use them in the car for strapping up speaker and power wires under
the dash, and to keep small wrenches together.
One of the more interesting uses I found was on the tennis courts. Our nets are getting kind of old, and the stitching
comes loose from the header, allowing the net to drop. Rather than spend a lot of time with a sail needle and waxed cord
to fix them (which I have done), I loop these over the top of the header and through the second row of the net and press
tightly together. Stands up pretty well, even in the South Carolina heat, humidity, and sun. Eventually, Parks and
Leisure Services gets around to replacing the nets. Unfortunately, they must buy the cheapest nets available, because
the Velcro holds up longer than the original stitching.
