So if you are bored one weekend… Very bored, you can always add sleeving to your PC case wiring, to make it look slick and neat. This can be a very tedious job, but rewarding at the end if you happen to have a window in your case and don’t want all the ugly wiring hanging out.

My recommendation, get a power supply with pre sleeved cables. Or you can always just go to amazon and get a pack for about 10$.

Anyway here are some great guides on sleeving your cables:

Overclockers Cable Sleeving Guide

Well after a few requests I am going to post a rough guide to cable sleeving – now before you get too critical I did say rough .

Now before we get started there is one thing I MUST point out and that is that most power type cables tend to inter-twine – in other words the cable that is in the left most hole at one end may not be in the same position at the other end. I HIGHLY recommend that you take your time and do each cable one at a time (if you are grouping cables make sure you label them accordingly so you do not forget their order) because if you get the order incorrect when you go to power up the next time there is a very good chance you will see the magical black cloud!!

The two best sleeving types on the market current are MurderMod Sleeving and Clean Cut PET or CCPT which can be bought at GAMMODS

However I should mention that the sleeving used in this guide is all 1/8″ Techflex PET like this (due to having done this all a few months before the MurderMod sleeving was available)

The majority of the heatshrink was 1/8″ as well.

First thing first and that is you need to decide what exactly do you want to sleeve. Are you going to just do the 24 pin cable? Or are you going to do the pcie, fan, molex and the whole shebang. Next step is to work out if you are going to be doing them individually or in groups. This then helps you work out what size sleeving is going to suit your needs. For individual power cable sleeving and fan sleeving I find that 1/8″ sleeving is perfect. But once you start moving into groups it all comes down to how many per sleeve you are trying to do.

Now there are many different types of sleeving out there as well as kits that give you different lengths/sizes with their appropriate sized heatshrinks as well. These are good but you may end up only using one size and the rest will just sit there. The other option is to buy it in the size that you want and the desired quantity. For sleeving in Aus its hard to go past gammods as they have a large range of sleeving in all sorts of sizes and colours as well as the heatshrink to go with it. Or the more expensive (but oh so worth it) option has arrived with the launch of the MurderMod site which now sells the mdpx sleeving (of Million Dollar PC fame). This sleeving is slightly thicker and is less likely to show the colour of the cable it is hiding. Again as mentioned previously there is no better sleeving available on the market at this time (My Opinion).

Now that you have selected your sleeving size/colour options you are going to need some tools to remove the pins from the various plugs.

For all non molex type plugs you can use tools like the ACRyan one below but I found that they have a tendency to break fairly easily. Actually the easiest thing to use is some standard staples….yes staples:ROTF:

I find that two together once bent into shape are a perfect fit for removing those pesky plugs and if you break them…simply get a couple more
