yes i realize that cable folding has been around since, well, ide ribbon cables have, it just dawned on me that my case would look cleaner w/ folded cables rather than round cables.. i know its like a fish finally figguring out " oh crap where the hell is the water"

My case is so messy, I think I will give that a try, gettin hot in there too, got 7 fans, but those dont help if the air cant get to the heat generating devices right.

EDIT: HoLy ****, this is great!!! It looks good and my idle temps are 26 degreas now compaired to at least 30, air flow contributes to coolong more than you may think.

Default Re: cable folding

I am going to try that right away! Most of the cables I have already hidden, but not the IDE hookup to my hard drive, and that cable is right in front my 120mm inatake fan! I also have a SCSI hard drive though, do you think the cable folding works with SCSI cables? I have those twisted SCSI cables (to reduce interference and have a cleaner signal or something) and folding could get a bit tricky.

Default Re: cable folding

I've done all of my projects for myself and others with folded cables since I read an interview with the brilliant fellow at VooDoo Computers who was an early adopter and an Origami master. I use an old ribbon cable to perfect the folds in any given project, then duplicate those with a new cable, giving the appearance that I got it right the first time. ;)
