Solve : Psu useless cables?

Answer» Hello! I recently got a new computer with a thermaltake toughpower 750 watt psu (about to get SLI) Now there are several useless cables coming from the psu that pnly take space inside the case and they make it look untidy inside, so is there anyway to "remove" or hide them in a nice way? Thanx!I would suggest zip ties. Don't try to "remove" them. You can cause damage to your system. my power supply, in my case, is in the upper rear area. what i usually do with all my extra connectors is i zip tie them together and place them in the 5.25" drive bays. [file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Yes zip ties are your friends. How big of a monitor do you have? From what I have read, unless you have like a 32 in. monitor, SLI is a waste of money at best, and can be a pain to set up. There are people that know more than me about the subject, but with all the reading I have done, I have yet to hear someone say SLI is a good idea, and hundreds that say it is a bad idea.
