The time has come

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Ever since I got my first rig put together and signed up here on overclock.net I have been inspired and encouraged to sleeve my PSU cables. I knew the time would come when I would take the plunge and do it, so the time has come.

I placed my order of 100ft each of 2 different multi-colour choices from http://www.supplycaptain.com . I chose the snowy forest camo and the new viper colours. My build being black, white, and green schemed I chose sleeving with the same scheme. I'm thinking I will do the 24 pin with the snowy forest and the 8 pin and 6pin with the viper. I can sleeve any leftover fan cables or whatever with the remaining paracord.

After watching all LutroO's videos I think I'm going to attempt the heatshrinkless method. It gives the best outcome in my opinion smile.gif

I shall do an update when I get the paracord and have the PSU sleeved!!

Can't wait for pictures... and I didn't realize they made a cord called Creamsicle! That'd look awesome with an orange build inside a Switch 810 white model smile.gif

biggrin.gif Some of those designs would be awesome in a more colourful build. I'm excited to see how it turns out! I may decide to get a new PSU for the build if I can afford it as it's greatly needed...
