As for the amount you need... idk I bought 200ft of each lol
The difference in price is minimal (with how cheap it is) and the worst thing that can happen is running out when you're almost done.

yeah i noticed, and yours looks great! maybe mine will come out looking like that lol..


okay so i changed it to 200ft of green and 100ft of black.. no heatstrink and im going to buy the tool kit. may buy more so when i sleeve my psu for my HTPC ill have extra without having to order again and pay more shipping:thumb:

hope this helps
I thought about that already but it doesn't fit through paracord. At least not through any of the 3 different paracord batches I have. Nothing different about it I know of, 1 came from FTW PC and the other 2 came from different vendors on Ebay and they all appear to be 550 lb.

EDIT: Wait a minute. You're not talking about the larger part I guess? I'll round up some allen wrenches and try it later

Go find an old radio and take the antenna off that. One of the thingy's is bound to fit just perfectly.

Sleeving is more important than a weather radio! (well, my wife doesn't think so, but she gave me the radio because it doesn't work)
So far I have my fans sleeved, and the front panel to motherboard wiring on my Switch. Tomorrow if all goes well I'll test fit the psu cables and start sleeving. A OCN member said he had a rough time with the Seasonic psu pins so I bought some 18awg wire and pins just in case I have to make up my own.
Only thing is the crimper I got from FTW PC doesn't do female fan pins very well, I ended up doing those with pliers on the few I screwed up.

Mandrix you know we need pics of said sleeving. tongue.gif

Seasonic psus are harder to depin and require a bit more pulling to make the cable detach from the housing. Just take your time and pull hard when you know the tool is all the way in. thumb.gif

I haven't started on the psu yet, actually, all I've done is fans which to me are a real pita, and some front panel wires. I just about totally fubar'd the HDD & Power led plugs. rolleyes.gif(anywhere to buy those?) Last night I did pull out the 24 pin from the Seasonic and strip off the single sleeve and look at it a bit.
BTW appreciate the tip on the Seasonic! I'll try not to get frustrated with it but if I do I have some wire and molex pins here and I'll just make my own, I guess. Actually I wish now I would have bought the connectors for the 24 pin, seems like it would be easier in a way.
Here's a pic of the on/off switch, leds sleeved on the switch.

So you have this Seasonic cable fighting you every bit of the way and you pull the very first wire out of the pin, the pin is still in the socket, how do you get the pin out of the connector? rolleyes.gif
So far I've stabbed my thumb and pulled the very first wire out of the pin. I know I'll get this at some point but it sure is frustrating right now. So back to getting the pin out of the connector.......? biggrin.gif
