I would like better cable management in my PC. For now, I have done everything that was possible with the resources that I had. But it doesn't really look good.

I have a non-modular PSU. The cables are "ketchup and mustard" color (Red and Yellow, Spaghetti mess). Anyways, I would like to know about cable combs. What are they, where can I get them, any alternative name, and how do I install them? A video link would be good. (I did search but couldn't find any guide with cable combs)

Also, I would like to have Black and blue cables instead of the "red and yellow" ones. Are there any extensions available which I can join to the original cable at one end, and to the required component at the other end? This will help me hide the red-yellow cables behind the case.

Thanks :)

Ok so adding extensions probably isn't the best idea , all you are going to do is have more cable to bury. The truth is if you want to do nice custom cabling like you want you need to get a modular PSU and then go to a company like this:

https://cablemod.com/

And they will sell you any sort of custom colors or whatnot. This isn't cheap though.

To save money but have it look nicer you can get yourself some cable conduit and wrap the cables thats the cheapest way to go. like this:

Or for more money buy way fancier you can get a sleeving kit like this...

Cable combs are pretty much bits of plastic with slots for wires so your cables can be more "solid". You can also get some heat-shrink sleeving to sleeve the whole cables (alternatively you can sleeve each wire but that'd require you to disconnect them from the connector and then reconnect them, and trust me when I say that the ATX 24pin is a pain in the arse to get reconnect correctly).

And yes you can get pre-sleeved extension kits from Cablemod.

For cable management, see if you can get some cable anchors as they help quite a lot.

And sleeve all of your cables. Its time consuming but the finished product is very nice.
