Hey, I just have a quick question regarding loose wires. What do you all do about these open connections? I have a bottom mount PSU and there are a few loose power cables on the bottom of my case. Should I find some way to cover them up or would it be safe to just let them be? If I cover them up, how should I go about doing so? Electrical tape?

I just don't want a short circuit in my system if one of these power cables just so happens to make contact with a case screw. I'm assuming that since the case is grounded, this would cause a massive short circuit.
 
Molex connectors are usually 'sunk' into the connector and the chaces of it shorting are slim.
Most people just wrap up the extras in a zip-tie or some of us use modular PSUs to there are no extras.

In general, I'd say your worrying too much, just wrap it and forget it :)
 
Haha, alright. Guess I'm just thinking way too much about messing up my new system lol :D
