Thanks, Dangals and N3it1. My fingers are still sore!

Nice job, Shazza! It looks like you did 2 wires at a time on the 24-pin, was that more difficult than doing one at a time like on the PCI-E's or was it easier?

I'd say it was a push. I decided to do 2 wires on the 24-pin, because I was worried I'd have too much spaghetti falling off the board. I've managed to get it to look a little more organized, but in retrospect - I'd probably go ahead and do 1 wire ... I think it would be easier to "drape" the cables.

I found the actual sleeving took only a couple of minutes ... getting the pins out is what tortured me I think if I do another one, I'll do one at a time, but maybe look into a smaller diameter sleeve. I love the murdermods sleeving, but it may be just a bit large for the one wire sleeving ( just my opinion ... I've seen it turn out quite nicely for others).

Nice work Shazza!

My first PSU I sleeved (Current one) took about 3 hours to do the 24pin. Having another set of hands is FAR easier.

A little tip for you all, this is from my "attempt and fail" experience - Staple are the best, no doubt about it, place the staple in the "Hole" and push it all the way down using a hard surface, then, hold the Connector (So the 24pin connect for example) with a TOWEL or RAG, then pull the cord. this method worked best for me
