So I went ahead and threw an order in on paracord.com. Shipping was only $5, and it came in 3 days.

I've never done this before, so I'm not fully expecting it to be amazing or breathtaking.

I went with the 550 Black Widow Paracord for this. I like the way it looks, and they red really pops.

Sorry, Antec!

First pin sleeved. I like the way it looks so far. I knew most of my heat shrink wouldn't match up so I took a cop out.

Took 1/2" Dia. Shrink tube and covered all of the ugliness up.

I'll update this thread as I work on it. Thanks for looking guys!

Did you get this done OP?

I have the same PSU in my secondary rig, super interested to see how it turned out!

I'm guessing it looked awesome, your sleeving job was really good, good work!

I actually did not, the pins on the PSU were extremely hard to get out, and I gave up. The paracord is sitting with my PC modding supplies, waiting to mod a worthy powersupply soon. (Most likely going to be the TX650 in my current build after I upgrade it).

I'll let you know when it happens!
