Nice sleeving job really liking it

[)r@ke

Yes, EXCELLENT sleeving! I'm prepping to sleeve all the wires in my main rig. Mind sharing any tips (if you don't mind sending a few my way via PM)? Cause your work is excellent, Goby!
And btw, in that last picture there, did you do a cut/splice job on the molex power cord or did it come measured to that length? If you did cut/splice, I should seriously learn how to do that too, because I definitely hate having like 6 inches of length leftover after I plug in power to my components...

Thanks!

Thanks! Every single cable in my rig has been spliced, chopped, shortened, re-done. I didnt want any extra slack hanging out so I cut every cable to length so it would fit nice and snug.

Here is where that cable went. It connects pump and 2 dvd drives to the PSU



Tools every modder should have!
1. PSU modding tool kit
2. Molex crimping pliers
3. Volt meter
4. Torch (or heat gun)
5. Box-o-shrink tubing
6. Bag-o-molex pins (male & female) I got mine at Fry's. Huge bag of a few hundred for like $6!
7. Bag-o-molex adaptor plugs







Its really pretty simple. juast measure how long you want your cable to be. then leav an extra in or more(so you have a little playing room) then strip the wires, attach the molex pins, put on the sleeving (dont forget to use a lighter and melt the ends so it doesnt become frayed (sp?). then cut 2 pieces of shrink tubing and slide over. heat them up in place. The use the volt meter to test where the wires go in the plug if you didnt mark them. and attach the plug. The next cable I sleeve I will do a guide so you can see.

Thanks! Plan out where your wires go! I know I keep saying "plan everything" but IMO its important. and will make the finished product look much better, then an "on the fly" approach. imo. Tell the mailman to hurry up because I want to see more posts on your thread!!

Thanks! I think they look sexeh!
