That's amazing. No one can touch that for custom PC build.

can you spray paint sleeving?

I tested it ;)

The result was verry bad, because the paint peeled off with every movement :D

I guess I'll stick with technoflex clean cut black then. I can't find blue that doesn't suck at 1.5"

Did you try Nils' sleeving??

MDPC-X

I can't buy the "big" size for the atx cable =( separately.

You can buy the tubing sleeve seperatly...
As I remember the size is the same ;)

Damn, Nils, great timing with these crimps, just AFTER i got my sleeves ;)

Some photos from my router cooling project...

Really nice work FunFunBoy, seams a shame to close the door on that excellent work of art.

@Arthur sleeving looks excellent mate I really do like that orange.
I do find looking through the water mark is a PITA thou.
I know you do it so people don't use your photo's without your concent.
But still I feel it take away from your art.

Yes bro, its the only reason I am doing that. I can understand you well about my water mark and actually you are right. I'll try to change it with proper sized one soon enough. By the way, I thank you for detailed my work. :up:

@ funfun

WTF !!! You killed it man :D

nice work :woot::woot:

I found this link on a Dutch site http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,68...a/Gehaeuse/New

it made my day

Oh the stupid Germans :D

fhantastic - post your pics :ROTF:

hey you are insulting yourself now hahaha

(I say stupid nederlanders all the time):doh:

Can anyone lend me an ATX pin remover? I just ordered all my sleeving and shrink for a shot at this, forgot the stupid tool. Promise I'll return it good as new soon as soon as I'm done.

Last time I tried the staple method while making some extensions, I ended up with quite a few staples in my thumb and vowed to never try that again.

Also, best tool to use for shrinking the shrink? I'm seeing a mix between heatgun and hair dryer. I'm afraid a heat gun might melt the sleeving.

BTW, looks like I'm the first one attempting this on a power supply with threaded connectors:

Wish me luck.

It's a pity that you don't want to try again with staples. My first few cables were nightmare, but now i can't visualize myself buying 30$ tool - there is no sense in that.

Hint: don't use your fingers to push the staple in, try small pliers (i use my girlfriend's pliers for jewelery making).

I never tried anything else than lighter. Some patience and you will be fine.

:eek: especially to your last picture...

That looks just amazing but don't you think the tube from the bottom is a little bit too short ;)

90 degrees would work better, though...
