O-K Rocky, put down the scotch and get back to work.

I am drinking jasmine tea, listening to classical music and madly sleeving.
I did find one way to help the fingers...



Just started this monster..



And I have very quiet company...



Progress shots tonight!

[shazza]

Just checking in to make sure you've got all your fingers still - and you made me truly laugh out loud when I saw the gloves. Isn't it fun ????!!!???

Beautiful company you're keeping there ... they are watching your every move, ready to come to the rescue.

They are all still attached, thanks for checking! The cotton gloves make a big difference believe it or not and that little tool you see is outstanding. It is quite rewarding and it is fun, I think

Thank you, they actually sleep a lot!

Great progress shots Rocky. I always like to see how each person tackles every obstacle, and try to keep track of them all to incorporate the best in what I do. I really like the methods to your madness and look forward to more.

[theseeker]

LOL fitting that big ass rad down there reminds me of parking big cars in compact spaces..

seriously looking good there!



LOL which is why i kinda gave up going all out neat.

I realized the older i get, i do more playing and less looking.

I don't know...I am really enjoying the building and the sleeving. This is really rewarding and I am already contemplating my next build. However, as Nils would say, it's an Area 51 type build...... Only the cat knows, hint.

Thanks Kirk. In my early days in the Wall St. world I was told an interesting tidbit; If you take from one person it is called stealing...if you take from many it is called research! This comment had to do with gathering information only.
Therefore, I have used your methods, Dangals, Charles, Nils, DingDong Shazza and many others, so I have done my research. Thanks everyone for posting your tips.

Without further adeiu, here is my progress today, albeit very little. Just remember I am a first time sleever and I am an old dog and this is a new trick!

The PCIE and the SATA power cable...now I know why most of you use a dual GPU single slot solution! This took forever.



Thanks Charles and Nils...I am addicted!











Although I cut my heat HS the same lengths, some are longer than others. Depending the placement of the HS next to the tip, sometimes it slips into the plug and sometimes it does not. It took me a while to figure this out. Once the tips of my fingers grow back I will re-do a couple.
Now it is time for.....



Sleeving wears you out, but like sex, the cigarette afterwards is outstanding!
John, I hope you don't mind if I hit the scotch now?

The pooches are worn out too!





Sorry for the long post!

great sleeving... and I agree that its very addictive and satisfying to sleeve wires. I need to learn how to sleeve SATA cables next

cool dogs!

[shazza]

Wow - great progress.

And, you have just made one of the best posts I've seen in ages - you have all the winners:

Excellent sleeving progress,
Scotch and smokes,
Xtreme Systems on a MacBook Pro,
and beautiful sleeping pups

After all that hard work it is well deserved my friend.

Thanks and the SATA's are the easiest to sleeve.
Actually they are not dogs, they are my kids! They eat better then we do and I wish I could trade places with them....they have a great life.

Wow - great progress.

Shazza,
Coming from you, I am speechless!
The sleeving was actually fun, although I will get better and more uniform. I do like my scotch and smokes. The smokes typically make me a social outcast but I don't care. I am only here for a good time not a long time!
The MBP is the cats meow and I am glad that you can appreciate it. The doogs are our kids. They are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole. I have no idea what we would do without them.

Quote of the year

I really found that sleeving was part of the most rewarding aspect of the pc building experience. I think you really have to find out yourself to really believe it. By the time you're done with the entire psu you'll feel like a pro and want to do another one (after your fingers feel better of course.)

Keep the updates flowing.

John, Thanks for giving me permission! It's actually not that hard, just very time consuming. I started the PCIE, SATA Power and the 24 Pin monster at 12:30 this afternoon and finished at 5:45. However, I only finished 25% of the 24 Pin. This would be really easy if you could take out all the wires and sleeve!
I learned for me that sleeving two different cables makes the most sense. Meaning that I sleeved the PCIE while sleeving the SATA cable. As Dangals and BA pointed out, YOU HAVE TO LET THE HS COOL! Believe it. I bonked a couple by being impatient.

Thanks Nils! I cannot take credit for that quote. I believe it came from Caesar?

Kirk,
Good point. I am studying PSU's and about to order another one. It makes sense to have a pre-sleeved PSU ready and waiting for the next build. Maybe I have had too much scotch I cannot believe what I am typing!
I have to go cook soon and typing with my feet is getting tiresome.

[shazza]

lol ... I do agree with the comments about having to do the sleeving to appreciate it. It's actually pretty gratifying, if not a bit Psycho!

I actually ordered a spare PSU before I started sleeving It's now sitting in my husband's PC, cause I didn't screw up like I thought I would. BUT, am looking to doing another one to get it better.

Not to pollute your thread ... but you aren't the only one with a couple of kids/dogs:


Can't wait to see your system fully done. It's going to be a great one.

Looking at their muzzles they are tired. A long good life shows on their faces.

Shazza,
You are always welcome and your pups look like they are spoiled, just like our two monsters!
We should start a Psychopack Anonymous Group for those of us that are truly addicted to Charles and Nils "Cable-Crack."
The Madness continues tomorrow!

Didn't know you were into Jasmine tea; I'll bring you back some from China next time.

Please don't! They told me that it did not have much caffeine and they lied.

Beautiful sleeving work, my friend.

I've been telling myself that I can just use the stuff I already have from PPCs on my murderMod, but every time I see another post with that murderMod sleeving, I tell myself to hold off on my sleeving just a little while longer until I can at least afford to purchase the Sociopack.

Many thanks! Save some more and go for the Psychopack, you will not regret it. M|M gear is the best However, it is addicting.

Fantastic update Rocky!

Nice job on the sleeving.

The white gloves gave me a good chuckle!

I really liked seeing the pics of the woofers - all of them!

Perhaps a pet thread?


As a wise man once told me - press on!

Thanks Charles! I have a long way to go to get the uniform look of the HS I want but I am happy with my first attempt. Don't laugh at the gloves! They protected my worn down finger tips. Besides, I was catching too much sH*t from the sequins and the "periwinkle" mini heat-gun.!
The woofers will soon be a part of our new personal website.

[theseeker]

Mini update for the day. I had a little time so I finished one more PCI cable. I am a sleeving fool!





What do you do with those leftover rivet "tails?" Use them for markers in case the phone rings and you have to take the call!



Notice any thing different?



Look closer...this is for Nils If it is a wire...sleeve it!



Sorry I couldn't resist.
BTW I ordered my second Psychopack today. The addiction is getting much worse. I am trying to decide which PSU to order, or which PSU is worthy!

John and Shazza, I am drinking scotch and smoking now.

Charles and Nils, You need to make a double pack of sleeving and call it the Hannibal Collection!

[shazza]

Ha ... that's a good one on your little sleeving bit there. You do have the fever!

I think I'm more anxious for you to get this done than you are. Looking forward to your reports on performance with the Quad Rad and your hardware.

Also interested to see what your next PSU choice will be.
