Nice work on the sleeving. You've inspired me to do mine. I just ordered 75 feet of 1/8 techflex cleancut from furryletters on ebay. What size shrink wrap did you use on the ends?

Here's what I bought:


1/8" techflex cleancut from ebay vendor furryletters

1/4" adhesive lined heat shrink tubing from ebay vendor genuinedealz

To cover and solder splices from lengthening/shortening wires I also purchased.

0.150" polyolefin heatshrink tubing (26 ft.US $3.25) from ebay vendor furryletters

You can also see in my pics that I used the small diameter heatshrink to hide the wire colors on the plug ends:



And cover the wires tucked away in the fan's wire channels:

Ok, here are the pic of the fans in the case.

I also modded the Antec "Bigboy" to run on a 3 pin header now. You can see it plugged in above the memory in the picture below. I just desoldered the 3wires from a broken Yate Loon and soldered it onto the bigboy and jumpered it so that it would run full speed, that way it can be speed controlled by voltage. Of course I sleeved it, too...
Can you tell me more about the BigBiy fan mod? You mentioned you jumpered it to 100% so you can control it by voltage but what did you jump? Are you able to monitor RPMs now as well?
