Cable Sleeving Thread

[Smasherbasher]

This is a social thread where you are free to post as many pics as you want about sleeving jobs you've done. I'll start.

Looks good. WAY too much work for me though...

 

[Zargon]

^^^ this

I don't have time to really get into that yet

 

[Smasherbasher]

It's so worth it. Look for more pics later and feel free to post your own!

For me, if it improved performance, then MAYBE it'd be worth the work involved. Like I said, it LOOKS very nice. I've seen a few PCs that were custom sleeved and they look great.
I especially like the Red, White, and Blue theme you have in that first pic. Red, White, and Blue is my favorite color. :biggrin:

I cheat. I buy the NZXT pre-sleeved extensions and hide the rest behind the motherboard, and buy the nicer Corsair power supplies with the great flat cables.

I would love to do a complete sleeving job, but I don't have the time and I don't want to void the warranty on expensive components (PSU, etc.)

 

[Smasherbasher]

IF you get 100% modular, The warranty will be intact.

Kinda like me? :biggrin:

I like the NZXT extensions. Don't get me wrong. My problem is I hate the mess they make behind the motherboard tray because there's always excess left over.

Wait till you see what I have in store for the AX 750 that's here waiting for me to get off my duff and modify.

Here's a quick shot of a Yate Loon I just did to play around a little bit.

Here are a couple nice specimens to get some red and white FTW Sleeve

Anyone try using adhesive spray on the wires before you sleeve them?

 

[Smasherbasher]

I haven't. Perhaps you should be the guinea pig

Why would you do that? I reckon that would make it harder to slip the sleeving on there.

I fully sleeved a real piece of crap raidmax PSU (this was before I knew any better, and didn't realize it was a piece of crap). Turned out really well. I want to try my hand at single sleeving, but don't want to kill my PSU, so it will probably have to wait.

 

[Smasherbasher]

Well, it may not make it harder. What may work for you is a drop of hot glue on the end. I'm assuming you just want to hold it tight while you stretch it, yes?

 

[Smasherbasher]

Made a few extensions for customers today. Just a sample of many more to come. Still perfecting the heat shrink process.

 

[Smasherbasher]

Another one I made last night but was too tired to shoot pics until today.

 

[TheStu]

Do you have any shots of the paracord in action? I have been kicking around the idea of getting some of that for my front panel and fans.

 

[Smasherbasher]

Lets see......Ah here we go.....

Please keep in mind this was before we had pre-cut heat shrink so I had to guesstimate. 90% of the time I was wrong.

Kinda like me? :biggrin:

sorry this doesn't count and you are disqualified. your computer has to actually have cables

also what happened to sleeving entire bundles? sleeving individual wires seems kind of redundant and pointless?

That is the look that is en vogue these days, I kind of like it since then you can do multiple colors and striping.

Old pc pic (still use the extensions). The SATA power sleeve turned out nice

That looks really good. I like how you got the lengths on the SATA power just exactly right.

 

[Zargon]

yeah very nice work

 

[Lightflash]

Looks like a decent alternative to MDPC, but your heat shrink job needs some work.

Might have to try it to compare with some of the other sleeve I have got from various companies and review each of them.
