Nice SetUp! I have thought about trying to round my own cables- any suggestions on how to start- just twist? How do you keep the form?

I actually just took a sharp exacto knife, started a cut in between every 5th wire then easily pulled them all apart. After that, there are 8 loose pieces of 5 wires, then I just stacked them and ziptied together.

Easy! :)

I usually used automotive "spiral wrap" for my homemade rounded cables

Nice rig!

I've tried the rounding things mentioned. Also tried using heat shrink tubing. Haven't tried the cutting yet, folded them instead (I guess easier to bend if you cut). I use HST for other projects, but works good for computer cables. Good to use on cables you normally can't buy rounded or to color code things.

Bought some here before, but you can use yahoo shopping to find more:
