Default Electrical Tape Ok ?
Was wondering if it is a good idea to wrap up the wires (comming from power supply) with black electrical tape. I know there are kits you can buy for this kind of thing, but if I can get away with using the electrical tape might as well use it.

Yes I think it will be ok to do that. Should also help with the cooling if you do it right.

Computers are more complex than the average enthusiast believes. Take heed, and be wary, with what you do when overclocking.
