Can anyone tell me what those plastic things called that are used in PC cases to tie cables too.
They approximately 1.5 cms square and have one side a small hook to attach a plastic tie too and the other a self adhesive stick to attach to the case, dvd rom to hold cables too. I need some more and cant find them on net but would help if I knew the name of them. Thanks

You could have a look in B&Q, they sell self adhesive hooks. They're sold for hanging pictures etc. without drilling holes in your walls but may be suitable for what you want. Alternatively try Maplins, they may have something suitable.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends

Not exactly what you describe, but these will do the job:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=6235&doy=6m12
If the link doesn't work try product code SJ13P.
Hope you need lots - they come in bags of 100!0 -

As mentioned previously try a DIY store, you shouldn't have to buy 100 there! But you would need cable ties for these.0 -
Just been to Maplins today and they have hem in packs of about 100 for about £50

Do you mean cable ties ? You can get them in most pound shops thats what I use anyway.
You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.0 -
Hi this is what I meant, Thanks all they are in Maplins and B&Q. I got a bag of 2x20 per bag for 99p each. I wanted them for tying Christmas cable particuarly a garland on a fire surround and didnt want nails on. I also use them for pc too but my last lot I bought was a while back
Thanks for the help
