Just been cleaning my cable stack, i just dump all my cables that i get in a box and i cleaned it up but still does anyone have any good ways of orginsings cables, like any products that they store cables in.

I use paper/plastic Twist ties for cables that I might need in the near future, and I use nylon cable ties for long term storage.
For really short term, I Wrap teh cable in a ZigZag till there's about 6" left, then I Wrap the whole thing tightly and run the cable through the loops, it tends to curl the ends, but it's free and keeps most cables together well.

And I can't find a picture of the hand tying methos, but they use is to keep climbing ropes clean

Zip ties are the way to go.
Since I'm a computer junky and have parts going all the way back to my first PC, I use these stackable, multi-drawer bins for storing my extra cards (sound, video, SCSI, etc.) and all my cables, adapters, and what have you.

I saved the box my motherboard came in and store any cables, screws, extra parts in there.

I just use boxes from my builds to somewhat organize all my extras. I have a box for network cables, one for most of my other cables, one has extra fans and heatsinks, and so on. I really want to do it like agent mentioned but i'm cheap lol.
I have a plastic toolbox thing that I keep all my junk in. It's not nearly big enough, so I have pieces of computer scattered on every shelf/drawer in my room.

TBH, these work pretty good. You can buy a huge canister of them for pretty cheap, too. To remove, simply cut.killer21 wrote:

Rofl i g, your Antec 900 looks almost exactly the same as mine
If you have a side panel window (or whatever you call it) on your case because it will "blend" in more with the cables than white will.killer21 wrote:
