It seems that about every other day I hit a website that has a new article up on rounding your cables.  Those people must have a lot more spare time than I do.  Plus I just don't feel like slicing my fingers with a razor blade.  Another thing that I see is people talking about doing all these blowholes in their case yet they don't have the basics covered yet.  I was thinking that there has to be an easier way.  That is when I thought about just folding the cable and using zip ties to keep it together.  I will also cover the basics of case cooling.  Let's look at the case, tools, and materials that we will use first.

The above is a Karri Mini Tower case I picked up a few years ago to use for my file server at home.  For a mini tower it has plenty of room for my Abit BX6 Rev. 2 (big mofo) motherboard.  Currently it has a Celeron 300A that is sacrilegiously running at 300mhz.  One of the hopeful outcomes of this project will be a stable 450mhz yet again.  For tools I have a pocketknife, Phillips screwdriver, and 7-inch diagonal cutters.  The only materials we need are zip ties and duct tape.  I'm going to start with the cables first.
