    Martin Simpson a/k/a Crysis_gamer; a/k/a Pyschosleeve is the best using Nils sleeving. He is somewhere in upstate New York, IIRC, and he's pretty expensive, but his results are phenomenal. However, I would say do it yourself. It is extremely time consuming, but it is well worth it. If you have any dexterity with your hands, and if you have patience, you can get pretty good results simply by following Nils guides. When it's all over you'll get a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure at seeing your work. Also you'll start looking for the next sleeving project. However, if you don't have a lot of time, or you don't have a lot of patience, or you're just a clumsy person, you may not enjoy the process as much. In which case, just pay somebody to do it for you. But since you have unlimited funds, you should consider paying somebody to go to work for you, so you have the time to enjoy the sleeving process. If you're into building your own computer, you really should try it.

    Ask Corsair, they could send you some free spare cables.

    Agreed! I've used all types of sleeving but, prefer paracord... It maybe a little harder to work with but, the look and feel is IMHO superior...

    Every cable I ever sleeved has some shrink that came off, even the Mod/Smart and NZXT cables I bought after I never wanted to sleeve again ($30 for a 24-pin pre-sleeved). I will give this a try!
