Hi guys,
I'm planning to sleeve all of the cable visible in my case. I was thinking about getting UV sleeving but I don't know which color to get. I have an antec 1200 case and most of the lighting I have is blue. also my system includes 2 blue cold cathodes and 2 UV cathodes. most of my hardware is black. Now I want to use a colored sleeving and black shrink rap. Just a question: Should I uni sleeve all of my cables for example sleeve each one of the 6 pin and 8 pin connectors? will that look good? thanks

IMO I love the look of individually sleeved cables. As for color though, thats more of a personal preference. I am not a fan of UV or LED lighting in my case (I like it to be clean), but if I were to have UV in an Antec 1200 Id probably go for black and blue sleeving (most of the cables sleeved black with some of them blue for accent). Black and blue would also go well with your motherboard color.

go to performances pc.com and get the power blend sleeves, they are the newest kind since they have 4 braids extra so it doesn't wear out like our gimmic cheap sleeves. I like the ORGE and Superhero sleeve. If you ever get'em i wanna see some uv pictures, i need to order those too soon.. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=2262

Let me tell you that individually sleeving on the HX 1000 is hard. And the finished product is kinda....meh. Because of tight bends at the connections, you can see the yellow. And plus, the secondary 6pin power for the GPU's have a ferrite choke so you can't fully sleeve them (afaik). Here, a picture of the rig I recently built.
