well I thought of using duct tapes to stick up the wires as an alternative, but are there anything to know before using duct tapes?

how will it affect??
seriously i want to sleeve, but then using sleeves itself will require us users to remove molex and SATA power

and btw, why is it at the wrong section?

Even though it is not hot, duct tape will still leave sticky residues.

For example, plaster to wrap your wounds. After you apply and leave it for few hours, or days, when you peel it off, you will feel sticky on that part right?

that will happen for sure
but one thing though, I do not plan to take out the tapes once i sticked.

Alternatively should have bought psu with sleeved ready. The best bang for buck is gigabyte superb 550w which is around rm 170 with fully sleeved cabling. I've tried sleeved my acbel psu using vantec sleeve kit. Is a very messy task and you need proper tool to remove the molex pin. Worst is removing those 20 or 24 atx power pin. Use cable tie is the cheapest alternative which the least mess because duct tape will stick dust and dirty and times goes by.

no money leh bro
btw i just saw somewhere that masking tape will NOT leave sticky residue after a while
