Ha! He's 6'5" and they don't call him Big Dog for nothingNaeKuh: so im guessing your gonna give your hubby a sleeved psu instead of a knitt sweater as a present one day???It would take a year to knit a sweater for him. I did build him a new PC for his birthday, but he's not too interested in sleeving, and abhors water cooling.
@ CptDreadFlint -
@ DB: Yeah, I think Fasmia got your green monster. The only green one I have is this one:
Could not resist trying Liderc's tip. Now, to do it 24 + 8 + 8 + 6 times.

Wow, the sleeving job is AMAZING! Nice job.

I was just about to say, the blue sleeving does look fantastic!

Thanks for the compliments, guys. A learning process, for sure.
I do want to add that the blue sleeving looks great. In RL, it is a tad more "aqua" than is showing in the pics - the bottom pic of the last two is a little closer to reality. BlueAqua / Kirk probably knows what I mean, as we were at first a bit concerned about the heat shrink and sleeving matching - the heat shrink color in the pics is representative. (Caveat - at least on my monitor).

Hey Shaz, what length do you cut the shrink to get it so perfect like that? 2cm?
shaz are you using a tool or straight pins to do the 24 pin and pci-e cables?
"Thing is, I no longer consider you a member but, rather a parasite...one that should be expunged."
I agree with everyone else that the blus sleeve has turned out fantastic and the latest batch of pics are top notch!!
Keep up the good work
I'd guess about 2 cm, but I'll measure once my pins get here so I can do the actual cables - instead of pretendingMy biggest concern is being able to cut the heatshrink uniform lengths.
I always prefer a toolOK - a serious answer. I tried the expensive tool first, and broke it within 10 minutes. I then used staples for the first PSU I did ... it worked, but a major PITA. Now I'm using the cheapie tool:
(Purchased from Petra's Tech ... I actually got 4 of them. Broke 2 very quickly, but the third has lasted a long time, once you get the hang of it). The real secret is doing it at a table, pulling the pin straight out. Trying to watch TV and de-pinning on the sofa is dangerous.
Thanks much, Dangals. I blame you for all of this nonsense!I agree with everyone else that the blus sleeve has turned out fantastic and the latest batch of pics are top notch!!
Keep up the good work
If/when I meet your hubby I will not tell him I liked seeing pictures of your rack online . . .

There we go, now that's perfect Shazza, that blue is incredible.
As for finding the perfect shrink cutter, I found that the sharp cutter found on a pair of wire cutter/strippers works extremely well, it has a very crisp cut that won't squeeze before it cuts, as you often find with scissors. I found this also cut sleeve very quickly and without causing any "un-braiding" as you sometimes get with other cutting methods.
I noticed that if you burn the ends of the sleeve, sometimes it will cause those sharp edges that protrude through the shrink after heated.
I ended up not singeing the ends of my sleeve and I found it left a much rounder finish on the shrink and a cleaner transition into the connector.
Looking forward to seeing this completed, very interesting build.

No more computer parts for me... Well for now until I
really REALLY need to upgrade.
Thanks, Liderc. Yes, I've been slightly singing the ends of the sleeving, but will experiment with your suggestion.
Thanks, bianco ... I'm trying to figure out how to do it without "over doing it."
HE HAS A LOG???
Thanks, DB
I love to shop too, so I understand. But, I do enjoy your never ending cycle of rebuilds.
Thanks, norim!Good job
Yes ... but you have to admit it keeps us entertained. And, he does some cool stuff.and.... the never ending cycle of builds continues for naekuh
Some parts arriving in the next few days which will allow me to finish sleeving. A new waterblock that may be hit or miss, and some more BP fittings. I wanted to do this build with only barbs, but just concerned about making all the bends work. I am the BP poster girl by default.
