Found a simple trick to hide PSU cable clutter without buying extra extensions
Was working on my budget build last weekend and got tired of looking at that mess of cables near the bottom of the case. Didn't want to spend $30 on custom sleeved extensions. Instead I took an old black t-shirt, cut it into strips, and used a lighter to seal the edges. Wrapped the bundled cables in a couple layers and tucked them behind the PSU shroud. Looks way cleaner now and cost me nothing. Has anyone else tried something like this with household stuff?

Tried black electrical tape on my old build and it held up for years actually.

Noah, you saying "held up for years" reminds me of something a buddy of mine did. He had this old monitor with a cracked corner of the plastic bezel, and he literally used black electrical tape around the whole edge as a fix. I'm not kidding, that tape stayed on there for like 4 or 5 years until the monitor finally died. He never had any issues with it peeling or getting gummy either. Sometimes you just find a weird fix that works way better than it should.
