what other cable ties can i use other than plastic when building a pc?

I prefer wax string. I work on aircraft wiring and prefer this over zip (cable) ties. Below are some websites with different tying procedures.
Hope this helps

Try using string if you really need to keep the cables together. If you are building a pc then I think you will find that the cables from power source to MB are mostly grouped together and wont need much more restraint.

You could use LACING TWINE. which is what we did with cable looms prior to the plastic ties coming along.
It is rather more fiddly, as you need to thread the twine around the bunched cables, and finally knot it off at the end of the run.

You can also use rubberbands to tie cables together these are easier for getting back off if you need a cable.

Cable ties are non conductive, cheap and easy to purchase. Why not use them?

I would use something that is non-conductive so as to reduce the chances of static discharge. Something rubber or plastic. I wouldn't use anything metal.
