Remember when we built PCs with zip ties and hope?

I finally got tired of my cables looking like a mess inside my new Fractal case. Tried those little adhesive cable clips for the first time instead of just zipping everything to the frame, and it actually made routing the 24 pin look clean. Has anyone else found a trick that seemed too simple but actually worked?

Those adhesive clips come off when the case gets warm though.

I used a strong double-sided tape and they stayed on fine.

My 3M tape with the red liner actually held through a full 8 hour shift in a hot kitchen. @faith_lopez48 I think the difference is cleaning the surface with alcohol first, which most people skip. The adhesive clips people buy at the dollar store are junk, sure, but the heavy duty automotive grade stuff is a different product entirely. It bonds with heat instead of letting go because the acrylic actually activates when it gets warm.
