Where can I buy cable ties?

I'm building my first system and need to know where I can buy small and medium sized cable ties.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, most any hardware/tool store should have them. Radio Shack carries them but you'll pay out the wazoo for theirs and you don't get that many for the price. I got mine at one of those "cheap tool sale" things that most cities get every now and then....you know, the kind that advertise on tv with things like "BRAND NEW 18V CORDLESS DRILL, ONLY $10!!! ALL MUST GO!!!"? At ours around here, I got a pack of 500 various sized zip ties for like $6.

I bough mine at Lowe's, but I don't remember what I paid for them. You can find them in the electrical parts.

good idea, and after you use the cable ties its usually a good idea to snip off the left over tail. Makes it look nice and professional.
