Tower Wires rattling.... need some ideas

Ok, well this is starting to bug me and I can't come up w/ a viable solution to the problem. The problem is that my wires on the driver side that are ran through my tower are rattling inside the tower. You can here the rattling sound inside the tower. I originally thought my tower was creaking so I went to tighten it up and everything is locked in nice and tight. You try and shake the tower and it doesn't budge. I've pretty much tracked it down to being the wires ran inside. I've got heat shrink wrapped around them and I thought that would have helped a bit but not really. I had thought about squirting some expanding foam inside, but that would be MESSY and then I'd be screwed if I or another future owner ever want to re-run the wires or add anything. I thought about drilling two small holes in the middle and then strapping the wires to the tower w/ a zip tie.... but I don't really like that idea. Any other ideas guys?

kink the wire in a zig-zag?

that's a tough one.

pull the wires out totally twist them tight then pull them back through and dont pull them tight leave lots of slack in the wires. that should do the trick

Just a thought, if you don't want to rewire the whole deal, fill your tower with some expanding foam. You'll never be able to wire anything through there again though once it sets up. I used an 8 strand 13 guage wire bundle that had a rubber housing and don't hear a thing. . Upload

if you foam it you could always run new lines up the otehr side...
