I've done a bit of sleeving on my PSU and think I am going to re-sleeve it. I didn't want to sleeve each cable seperately, but I dont like the way it looks sleeved the way it is at present. So I was thinking of re-sleeving each wire individually. The way it seems most are doing it now.

How much sleeving is used? I did some basic measurements, and either I am really tired and just not adding right, or my numbers are way off.

To sleeve each wire individually, how much sleeving is needed?
I have access to 3mm (1/8"), 6mm (1/4"), 12mm (1/2") and 18mm (3/4") sleeving.
From what I can tell, a single wire sleeve will be the 3mm (1/8").
The sata cable sleeve I'm unsure of, but can tell I will more than likely use 12mm (1/2") heatshrink and 12mm (1/2") sleeving for those. Doesn't look like the next smaller size will fit.
Unless someone knows of the right size?

Thanks for any input.
Take a look at MDPC. They have some amazing stuff there. And they have sleeving specifically for Sata cables.

you'll see that a lot of people are using it. Supposed to be the best. I have not bought any yet but I will be soon.

In terms of the amount needed, measure the length of one wire, multiply by the number of wires you are going to do and then add about 20% for off cuts and oops moments.

Hope this helps.
