Skittles Build .. feel the rainbow ?:rofl:
It would look awesome, but mostly on the 24-pin wire.
I think I'll just stick with black, red and white.
Crys1s_Gam3r, your pictures are a work of art :up:
Is it just me, or when I visit the murdermod site, it gives me saying they are out of business, and when I finally enter the site, the sleeves are all out of stock :(. I would order from MDPC-X, but the shipping, and the currency transfer fees.
They are the same product except they now sell it only on MDPC-X.Quote:

Dont know if 16 is needed but will order it from another site if need be.. but before i do the question i have, will i beable to fit the heatshrink in the atx connector around the wire if i use 16 ga wire insted of 18???
Great pictures, but maybe just a bit more aperture to get more in focus?
Just a guess but maybe he doesn't have a proper macro lense and is doing something like using a reversing ring?
When I used to use a 35mm prime and Nikon BR-2A reversing ring my macro shots all looked like that.
has anyone come up with a solution for sleeving the antec TPQ1200 with its powercache caps? the stock "sleeve"(if you can even call it that) is utter crap.
is it anything like this?Quote:

I have got a question,
are there any difference in the content of the yellow and black cables after i taken them out from the pcie heads? Meaning, i can just use any colour cables as long they are fitted back correctly? Sounds a little confusing >.>

Hope that made sense and gave you a bit of understanding of how things work

@Crys1s_Gam3r:
On your site: http://psychosleeve.com/order.html
It says $2.50 a wire...so if I wanted my power supply custom sleeved, would I ship it to you or would you just buy it yourself, and pay you for the price of the unit + sleeving + S&H? Do you sleeve anything or just PSU's?
Thx in advance
People need some help here.
Since that you're more PRO than i in this stuff i recently buy some atx, pci-e extensions already sleeved in black.
Well, i have a Corsair TX750W which have AWG 18 wires.
My atx and pci-e extensions have AWG 18 wires too but when i compared with my Corsair wires, my extensions wires is a little more thinner than Corsair with the same rated (AWG 18).
I believe that my extensions wires is likely AWG 20 because it's the same wires then we could find in some cheapers 400w PSu.
Did i have some kind of problem to use that?
PS: I don't wanna sleeve the Corsair PSU because in the future i can always change the PSU and keep my extensions with good look. ;)
Thanks dctokyo :)
wraithien: I used MDPC-X SATA sleeve and heatshrink, and I believe some BIG heatshrink as well (comes with tubing-pack), for that 6pin
Shawnoen: Almost :) I use a macro extension tube with my 50mm 1.4
Baron Davis: Either way, whichever is most convenient for you. :) Email me at martin@psychosleeve.com to discuss further.

Does anyone here from the USA have any of the Yellow MDPC small sleeving left over that they don't need? I only need about 8 to 10 feet of it which is way to little to order direct from Nils.
one quick question for dualbrain or anybody who used it before:
will the mdpc sata sleeve fit over the sata connector or do i have to remove the connector off the sata cable in order to put the sleeve on?
MDPC-X SATA sleeve fits over the connector when the sleeve is "expanded" (when you order, Nils will provide a detailed guide). Absolutely no need to remove the connector :)

Today i was wondering, has anyone sleeved an ethernet or phone cable? :rofl:
I have a quick question, what is the best way to get a nice, even shrink? With a heatgun? Or the misses hair dryer?

PPCS cable sleeving problem- Wrong size and they say its right!
Please see my thread! Dont buy that stuff.
Will be placing an order for MDPCX cable wrap soon as plan to replace every wire on my Ultra X4 P/S when i get time to.
You should have just bought the MDPC-X right away and do it right from the beginning. There are thousands of types and offerings of sleeving around the world but only Nils has it all worked out for us.Quote:

those capacitors are making the cables look ugly...
I removed the capacitors on my cables... They weren't needed. Maybe back in the day, but video cards are built a hell of a lot better.
They may/maynot be needed. They are there to reduce signal noise (whine) from your PSU when plugged into your video card.Quote:

After listening for it in my other PCs I noticed quite a few have it--but the sound of hard drives, fans (even low RPM ones) combined with the use of headphones covers it up.
Either way, they are not critical to your operation--only if you are a silent junky like myself. =)
I want to experiment by moving them closer to the PSU to make them work, or figure out a nice way of including them in the sleeve.
Moving them closer to the PSU essentially negates their effectiveness. Either leave them where they are or remove them completely and live with the consequences.
Oh, my god. I hate that signal whine aswell NFC.
I think you need to keep the watermarks, Martin - I've seen your pics numerous times. I can always tell, because the sleeving / heatshrink is too perfect ;) You're making me think I have to redo my latest attempts.Quote:

Personally, I think it detracts from your work as art. I understand you have a business and can emphasize with the frustration plagiarist cause, but eventually they will be found out.
At the very least I would ask you to consider moving the mark to the side, so that if a plagiarist crops it out they crop out the detail of the sleeve.
Anyways, I think your work is incredible art, and it should be treated and respected as such. Feel free to call out the thieves too, that never hurts :yepp:
according to my current rig "sounds like a jet" i don't care :PQuote:

Anyone sleeved round SATA cables?
Using round SATA III cables on new build for better routing. Curious what size MDPC-X sleeve works best for round SATA cables if it's been done.
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...0A3RK11_01.jpg
I got three of those myself. I think small sleeve will do, even if it will stretch a bit you won't see through as the cable is black:up:
Well thanks to Crys1s_Gam3r, I have a great set of sleeved cables and here are a few pics of them in my actual case. I highly recommend Martin for getting this done. The quality of his work is quite impressive and I certainly couldn't have accomplished it (at least not in any reasonable amount of time, lol). I'm very happy with how they turned out and fortunately everything fits! The Thermaltake TRU 120 just barely fit in under the PSU/Drive mount on the top. Whew! Black zip times and wire management is a must in SFF cases like mine and I think everything works well.

Yea, I have to agree. Maybe we can get more tips from people on how they did theirs? I would like to know how do you sleeve into the PSU? I'm looking to get the Enermax revolutions 85+SLI PSU. It has the main cables already connected, so when I sleeve those do I just tuck it in the box, or open the box and pull it through from the back? What did others do?
I know it's off topic, but do these cables work with SATA II devices? I would love rounded SATA II cables...Quote:

Thanks to the guy who said to use the hair dryer......has anyone tried to sleeve a DVI cable?? I have the Tower on top of the desk "Showing off" and i noticed i had a bunch of black cables and a yellow ethernet cable when my color scheme is blue/white.
Dug up an old black ethernet and had extra sleeving so i sleeved it white, going to buy blue for the rest. Putting in a million orders because you just never know with the sizing on these cables, once i'm done i'll post pics :D
cant wait till I get some money to be able to do this!

How did you expose the LEDs after sleeving? With a knife or just flame?
Any pics of connector you added to end?
Curious how to do this as I just ditched cathode tubes for new build in favor of surface mount LED strips from Oznium.
http://www.oznium.com/led-ribbon
Problem with all those (flexible) strips out there:
Too wide, often nor black, sometimes "bad" LEDs (or often not the color you want) and they are flexible :D
That are the points why I created my own layout (didn't produce them at home :D):
http://www.abload.de/img/leds106e2o.jpg
The problem now is that they also look amazing without sleeve...
That is deadly Xien16 :up:

The only time you get a whine from the powersupply is if the powersupply is bad. Corsair had a bunch of bad PSU's in their AX1200 line. They found the problem and corrected it in their Q&A department.Quote:

WoW!! What beauty in this sleeving. I just ordered from MDPC and can not wait to get my package... I do have a question though. Is there any reference to know what cable color goes back into the correct slot in the connector after you have pulled them all out, or what technique is the best way to go about this without confusion? I am sorry if this question has been asked, but this is a very long thread and pics are eye openers....
Thanks

Just got my Toughpower 775W which I was planning to sleeve, but then I found this...
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/61/ferrite.jpg
I can get rid of the ferrite ring, whatever it does, (there's one on all four of the PCIE modular cables), or I can buy/make new PCIE cables. Meh...
You can cut the shrink off the ferrite ring and tap with a hammer and it will shatter.
Done it on every Corsair I've owned and no issues.
I'm New Here, and also a noob when it comes to cable sleeving. With that said, i can't buy from MDPC-X since i don't have a paypal account ( long story short it's a problem with my bank statements ) and I was looking through amazon and i found these are they any good?! Thanks in Advance.
Amazon link
There is a photo/template for what colour goes where (maybe on the first page) but I found works for me (since I'm not doing this all the time) is to do them one at a time - that way its easy to just plug them back into the last / only open slot. This makes sense also because if you are not making your own custom length cable, and just resleeving an exitsting cable - each lead is NOT the exact same length and for a *perfect* fit of the sleeving - you need to measure each cable lead and cut the sleeving for that exact one - millimeters make a difference for that *perfect* sleeving job.Quote:

Quick answer as I'm here - my 2c - if you are doing a PSU, and you want it to look like the photos here...then you want to sleeve every lead (24 in a main power cord to the motherboard) - that means you need 1/8" which THAT KIT does NOT have enough of. Plus it looks like it has 3/4" or other which you will never use. So, unless you want to buy like 10 of those kits to get enough 1/8" sleeving, its not a good deal for what (I believe) you want to do.Quote:

Thank you for the Quick response.Quote:

But, what if I'm using a modular PSU and i don't be using that many cables anyway from it anyway ( Silverstone ST1000W ) how many of these would be enough. if it's too expensive I'll ask a friend of mine to get me the sleeving tools from MDPC-X.
Here is the math:Quote:
Originally Posted by TheBreezyBB

Now, that's exact so, factor in 10% for errors or waste, so add another 24", so you ~22 feet of 1/8" sleeving.
If you want to also do your PCI-E power connector, lets say you have a GTX460 - so that's 2 x 6pin x 10" (length of video cable), so that another 120" or 10 feet more - don't forget errors or waste so +10% = 11ft
Grand total is 33 ft of 1/8" sleeving and you haven't done the 8 pin motherboard connector or any HD / DVD drives.
Hope that helps.
PS. I don't know exactly how much 1/8" sleeving is in that kit - so I was just making a point by saying you needed 10 kits. The kit says 30ft of sleeving is included but the picture shows 4 different sizes so that's only 7.5ft per size IF is evenly distributed. I didn't see them specify what exactly is included, but based on only that observation - you'ed need 5 of those kits. AND that's ASSUMING 1/8" is actually part of that kit.
PPS. You mentions sleeving tools - that's a whole other ball game. Some people use bent staples, but the ATX pin tools makes life soooo much easier - its really your call.
PPPS. lol...just for reference, here is a photo of what your 24 pin ATX power cord should look something like (this is an extention cable with a 8 pin extention cable in the photo as well http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ImageGa...20Model%20PP04
That's really good, you helped me a lot with this info. It's not stated how much 1/8" cable is included in this that's why I asked here. and about the tool kit My friend has the MDPC-X kit I'll be using that for sure.Quote:

Why don't you just alk your fried to buy it for you from MDPC-X???
http://h-1.abload.de/img/leds28q5aj.jpg
Don't even start with bad quality ... I also did that nistake some years ago ...
That's what I'm going to do. It's a lot easier to get what i want from MDPC-X then buying these kits from Amazon.com, and also a lot cheaper. 2-3 weeks and the sleeving should start!! Thanks for your help.Quote:
