alechko88
this is how u do it.
1) the tools u need:
1 sharp knife
1 ATA cable
1 plastic tube
1 duck tape role.
alechko88
then u cut the stripes on the ATA cable 5 line each stripe
alechko88
after ur finish cutting the cable twist the two edges in oposite ways...
alechko88
after that u take the plastic tube in the size of the cable and cut round it...
be carefull i cut my salf pretty bad when i did it the last time......
alechko88
when its done i get a tube like this:
alechko88
when all ur parts are dont jsut put them together...
put the tube over the twisted cable and start twisting it till the cable is in the tube.. then u put duck tape on the edges for it not to slip and walla... ur done!
alechko88
this is what it looks like when done

that loogs good but wouldnt it be easier to but cable rap(wire loom) instead of making it go to a stereo shop they usually have all sorts of colors
Stiq
nice... better than mine but more expensive... remember im more ghetto and cheap than Psywar......... but i might have to try your idea....
alechko88
it aint really taht expansive....
the knife is like 2 bucks and it has many uses not only this,,
the tube is also like 2 or 3 $
duck tape u have at home
and the ATA cable u already have in ur computer

Yeah a lot of people just cut the cable and then wrap it in their favorite color of electric tape. There are a lot of online guides you can find. Personally I'm really bad at it though and have destroyed 2 ATA cables doing it (one of them was actually a good one sad.gif )

look good, but is all that time and work worth $10 for a factory made one
Stiq

alechko88
