The $4.38 Sleeve Mod

So I decided to clean up the wiring in my pc, but didn't want to spend 3 days on sleeving every single wire to perfection. So what I did was I grabbed a few cord organization kits as well as heat-shrink from Home Depot (where I work) and started to organize and sleeve my non-modular power supply as well as a few other cables. (it's a non-modular power supply because it was a return and it was $80.00, but nothing was wrong with it) The wiring kits cost a total of $4.38 and the thick corrugated tubing was $.99 for 10 FEET! - the other tight wrap heat-shrink was $2.38 and came with 2 thicknesses.

The corrugated tubing matches the tubing that is on my Domino ALC :ROTF:

Below is the original wiring job followed by the finalized version.

It's amazing what you could do with less then $5.00 in your wallet :)
The next step is to get PC Cable Tie Kits that mnpctech sells so then it can be XTREMELY neat to a pin, but I'll save that for next time

That... actually doesn't look too bad! I might do something similar for my wires behind the motherboard (budget means I had to skimp on sleeving; only ordered enough to cover my cables that were exposed).

nice work and yes it is amazing what you can do for almost nothing to a little money. I actually like the tiny zip ties also

Great work so far

Not bad looks, but I bet 100x easier than 'real' sleeving.

This technique is so old its almost retro....almost. :D

imo black zip ties would have looked better
