Reddit reviews LASUS Zip Tie Mount, 1/2 X 1/2, 25 Pack

What I like to do is zip them together in bundles, and then use anchors to keep them in place. Of course, this is semi-permanent, so not great if you keep changing your configuration or moving components. For a less permanent solution, velcro cable ties are great for at least bundling the cables.

It's a mount for a zip tie/cable tie.

Zip ties. Various sizes.

Once everything is connected, try to find places where you can anchor a zip tie to tidy things up. It's usually pretty easy around unused drive bays. If there's no place at all to put one, you can use these.

Here's a short album of my recent 650D build. There are 3 shots from the back from various points in the process. It's a pretty tight fit back there (giggity) and the most difficult part for me was the flat SATA cables. These little suckers made my life so much easier, and I'd highly recommend them. Some round SATA cables would probably help as well.

Zip tie mount.

They look like they're attached with something like these and zip ties : https://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE

I think I like this idea too. They make self adhesive plastic tabs that are slotted to accept a zip tie running through them, I think that may be a good way to go. Like these little chingaderos

If you want a solution that is repeatable and nice looking, maybe do some of these w/ some zip ties? That way, you can just cut the zip ties when done, and leave the mounts on the boards for next year.

Edit: These are the same thing, but more cost effective and have the prime/free shipping option.

These things are also super useful if your case isn't designed with zip-tie points. You don't have to get them from Amazon, I found them at my local Menards, it's a couple bucks for 100 of 'em.

Just to piggyback on the discussion of cable management, these are a very handy item to have in the toolkit. I use them often, including inside pc cases.

Use something like this:

Use a special tool to install them so you do not leave sharp edges. Improperly installed will scratch at a minimum you and can draw blood:

You can use this document as a guideline on how to do the cabling.

I would try to run all cables that I could on the scope itself. I would also pay attention to adding extra length of wires across parts that move, twist, rotate.
I would definitely try to route the cables in a bundle together as much as possible.

Sure thing

Yes! And consider these too!

[Cable/zip tie mounts] (https://www.amazon.com/Zip-Tie-Mount-25-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE). You can find them lots of places, I got a pack of a hundred of them and a pack of a hundred zip ties for about 10$. You can get ones with screw holes or adhesive. The adhesive ones works great.

Its a stick on ziptie anchor, you can get those at home depot or here http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421853241&sr=8-3&keywords=zip+tie+anchor

I have that same desk! The keyboard tray sucks and it also scratches easily.

I have my wires twist tied to the back using plastic tie mounts right along the top section. It makes it look a lot nicer, for like 3 bucks!

I use this inside my case. It comes with mounting hardware making it really easy to route however you want. It also has 3 brightness levels and an on/off switch.

For backlighting behind my monitors/desk, I use something like this. I typically only use a single color, but I opted for a version with color changing LEDs. The adhesive on these things sucks, so if you purchase one, I suggest getting some of these and some zipties to mount it.

You have the following options.

A. Conceal

You have open backed shelving. Add a backing (posterboard, painted MDF / fiberboard, fabric, etc... attached to the back of the shelf) and cut / drill pass through holes near the location of each shelf to pass the cables through.

B. Cable Management

Use the following very inexpensive products (which are also available at Home Depot / Lowes) to route / organize the cables along the back of the shelves and vertical portions. You should choose the color based on the color of the cables and what is being mounted to. In this case, I would use black.

• Velcro Cable Ties
  
• Zip Ties
  
• Zip Tie Mounts
  
• Cable Clips
  
  C. Both A and B
  
  See above.

or these with zip ties

I like the flexibility of the zip tie mounts. You can get very creative

Pics. We have literally no idea about the layout.

You generally use zip ties and velcro bands to hold the cables down. You probably need some glue-on mounting points since it's a wood case, and holes won't look very good.
