Okay I tried all over the place ...
We don't have a Lowes - Menards, and they didn't have elecrical 1/2" sleeving or even 1/4" they had some crappy plastic stuff that I didn't want so I said screw them and left. Well I didn't look at Radio Shack cause it was about 9:15 and they were closed. Any ideas where to get the stuff?

Walmart?
K-Mart?

look for electrician suply shops. your big places won't have stuff like that, but the little hole in the wall place will.

Radio shack might have some. But your best bet is online.

Radio Shack is the worst, most over-priced store EVER. Their customer service sucks, and all the electrical components that they sell, can be bough onlie for 1/3 of the cost. Unfortunately its the only store, that sells small components, ICs, resistors, etc.... and is an actual, not online store.
So if i need something that day, i have no choice but to go there.

I saw sleeving at a local auto parts store... Murrays Discount Auto... I think
other than that sleeving is tough to find..
might need to go online.
Wire loom is the other stuff you mentioned with such high regard smile.gif

I'm looking for jus reguluar black sleeving. I don't know I think my best bet may be to go to FrozenCPU and put in a order for some nice UV Reactive cables biggrin.gif ... Also, should I make my own rounded cables? Or get UV reactive ones . . . (Only like $10!)
