    Hi!

    See this http://www.tinnou.com/images/com-774a.jpg

    I am talking about the little black thing that keeps those cables tight together (in the middle of the picture look closely!). What is that thing? I need to buy those from Ebay or somewhere, because I want to make my cables in better order inside my PC case.

    Thanks for your help!

    That is a twist-tie. Zip-ties are different, more expensive, but will also do the trick.

    I use wire zip. Its similar to the one you are looking for. Actually much better, its more secure.

    Just go to ebay and search under "cable wire ties zip"

    Hope that helps.
