now tomorow work on hiding some wires
Yeah I will, right now Im pooped.
just cause its sleeved doesnt mean its to be seen, hide those cables boy!
Looks like a great job sleeving the psu, how long did it take you, and how much for all of the equptment?
Very nice sleeving work. I remember my first sleeving job, I thought it'd take like 20 minutes of work. It took me that long just to figure out how to get the molex connectors off, plus another hour to actually get stuff done. I didn't feel like buying a remover.
from 4 oclock to 10, so 6 hours, but i had to go to radioshack to get more heatshrink, and my lighter ran out of fluid and i had a bunch of other little inconviences. The gear cost me $40 +\- $10 all together, for the lights, the sleeving kit, and the replacment connectors.
Thanks, I was thinking about getting a psu & sleeving it & replacing molexes. All the cool psu's arent sleeved :-( so It looks like I'm gonna have to do the job whenever I get a new psu :-P Thanks again
NP Byron, it might be more or less depending on where you get it, I got them at the microcenter near me.
nice job i like the work, a tip for you flip around the hdd so you don't have to see the wires pluged in
Psshh, and 'sleeved' my PSU with Electrical tape...
Thx for the tip budda, ill do that when i hide the wires tomarrow
Pretty nice job on that sleeving,
But as everyone knows what i'm going to say,
HIDE EM !

tis a hard thing to do realy is sort the insides, i do think whats the point sleeving if u r gonna hide them all, its stupid. cos with the panel on it looks realy nice all uv'd up. its hard to get it messy and look good, wich u have got so keep it like it is, u either have it like that, or hide as many as you can, so the ones you can see look nice. but i think you got the nice scruffy look, its like hair. some people can have scruffy hair and it look good, some have scruffy look and look scruffy. if you know what i mean.
If I wanted to be real cheap could I sleeve all the wires with zip ties and electrical tap, is it advised? btw Nice job. i would never had time to do that.

I'm with you - I think it looks pretty cool all lit up. But hey ...
I just did pass 1 of wire mgt on my machine. Will post pix up when I get back from work. A small change in MB and CPU temp, but not drastic. I used a combination of sleeving, tubing, electrica tape, shrink wrap, and round IDE cables. Looks a little mix-n-match, but gives it a pretty original look! Frankenstein-ish (me thinks).
well here is my opinion all the money u spent on a psu and heat shrink and the sleeving had to be around at least 100 bucks. right? you could have just bought a ultra xconnect with round cables and the ease of only using the cables u need.
that is my personal opinion

Umm, If you read most of the thread, you'd see that he told us how much he spent on all of this

if i was going to spend a hundered bucks on a psu i would save up and get a neopower its modular and better than a x-connect

Yeah, but at the time I bought the psu i didnt have 100 bucks, my psu was only $60.
Keep in mind I DONT have a full window, it has that funky shape so it hides some of the wires, so it dosnt look too scruffy, so with that in mind should i hide some more, or keep as is.

Go for it. It'll look ugly as hell, but if it's a non-windowed case, and all you're going for it tidyness, sure. Don't even bother with the Zip-Ties, the adhesive on the electrical tape should hold on fine.
ok
