Wire Covering

[NeoNemesis]

Whats the best thing to use to cover wires, I've seen some cases with loom and others with electrical tape, which of these is better and what else is there?

Use whatever you feel like using. Electrical tape. Spiral wrap. Split loom (can be had at AutoZone). Sleeving. I use several diameters of split loom, color black, and have had no problems with it. Gives the case a nice industrial look on the inside.

We are talking about insulated wires, right? Not bare wires? If bare wires, then I would suggest some heat shrink tubing.

none are "better" than others
its all about preference and which one YOU like better

Thanks for the suggestions.

I personally like sleeving, but it is much more difficult to install.
Here is some Gold Mylar I got from Wirecare.com

hmm, I never thought of sleeving, it looks great. Also, I imagine its a great deal more flexible then either tape or loom. Thanks for the suggestion.
