I am looking for some items for cleaning up my case. I was looking in a OverdrivePC CD from 2002 that I got at Quakecon 2002 and I saw somethings I wanna do.

I wanna:
(SEE PICS FOR DETAILS)
1) Velcro with blue velcro to hold wires
2) Spiral wrap the cdrom audio wire
3) Seal my rounded cables
4) put non drying thermal grease on my hard drives screw areas to help take heat off
5) hold the wires on the case so they don't move


I am gonna post pics but they will take up about 5 to 6 posts. If you could look at advise me, I would be greatful! I dunno where to get these materials!

I wonder how much difference that would make with such tiny area of contact to the HDD bracket?

Well with 2 hard drives all running hot, it will help. I did some looking around anyway

ohh... ok..


Reading the description "put non drying thermal grease on my hard drives screw areas" is what got me wondeing. :)

A better idea would be to get a hard disk cooler fan setup for your hard disks if you want to get some active cooling done...

It has a fan, but even with those, they are still warm. Mario, at OPC, emailed me and said it would help with the metal making contact with the expanding and contracting of the cage.
