Is this just a discussion about cable routing?

I use these: Velcro Reusable Self-Gripping Cable Ties (the actual branded one.. surprisingly good and low cost).  I use to use the monoprice ones, but they lose grip after a little while and are too thick.

 

I found them to be thin and very flexible, but strong.

Okay, on the subject of awful exterior cable routing.. My router is downstairs from my computer so I have a 20m blue Ethernet cable going form my sitting room, around a book case and a radiator, up some stairs, round a corner and under the door into my room. :)

Yeah, inside the PC it's pretty clean, but behind my desk.. I bet two thirds of the cables back there aren't even connected to anything and I firmly believe that they have started to reproduce. halp pleez

Unfortunately there are still plenty of case companies who dont use enough space behind the back panel to route cables correctly.Something that should be priority in my opinion.I have a large tower and still have difficuly zip-tying mine then being able to close the side without it bulging.
