First off, amazing work fhantastic!

Now, to my problem. Has anyone else had a problem removing the pins on an Corsair HX1000 PCI-E Modular cables? I've tried staples and pins and cannot get them to budge. All of the other cables were easy but these are being a real pain!

[fhantastic]

Use a small screwdriver (0,9mm or 1mm) put it in and TURN 180°.

Do that one side at a time until both sides are done?

[Malik[A]]

Put it from one side turn 180 and then put it from the other side and turn. Also u can check at page 28 or 29 there is guide with PSU connector from Rastaman

My first sleeving job, I sleeved my 24 pin last night and I think it took me about 3 hours! I didn't realize how tedious this was, the first couple went real easy so I figured I would be done in no time but when midnight rolled around I knew I was at it for a while. I have to say I am addicted now and I want to sleeve everything, hell if my dog would stay still long enough I would sleeve her!

EDIT: As my son always says, "Screen shot or no proof."

Dylskee i have to say the same. Yesterday was my first time and i also sleeved ATX 24pin connector +3 wires from power on button at Cosmos S and it took me 2,5h then i sleeved my Scythe front panel. My fingers hurt but come on where's sth more to sleeve ;D

You just say 2,5 hours, because you want to 0wn dylskee with his 3 hour report

[Malik[A]]

No i'm not. I had to do everything before my girfriend come and clean my room to that time so i was in a hurry but his first time looks better than mine. (Photo later)

Well I'm sure it looks better than the rainbow affect before you sleeved it. I just had to go get more heat shrink, I ran out already!

Just did a SATA cable.......

[shawnoen]

Got my PC almost done. Just need to make a custom SATA power cable for the drives....

Didn't like how the 24 pin turned out the 1st time so I redid it...

Any ideas on how to make the area going into the power supply a bit nicer looking?













Custom side panel I made for it!

[lowfat]

PC-V1000 is an amazing case for cable management if you aren't afraid to drill a few holes in the thing. Drill a hole in the motherboard tray right where the 24-pin connector is. And one right above it for the videocard.

Hey Ferhan, your sleeved cables just rocks mate. You got good color choice and work out there. Congratulations.

I hope so I'll sleeve my cables in this weekend.

[dylskee]

Looks good Malik, much better than the rainbow look!

[Malik[A]]

Yeah, could be better if there wouldn't be any 3 pin cable for Cosmos..
Thanks Dylskee

[nascasho]

Man, I've been using TechFlex PET's and looking all your MDPC-X sleeves, makes me want to scrap mine! Lol. But just to clarify I'm not going crazy, my cart was like $120... thats correct?

[lexus232]

guys, your sleeving is AWESOME! After a while i will also sleeve my PSU and sata cables, but before i should buy good PSU instead of my Chieftec and order sleeving kit from Nils. DAMN I CANT WAIT! I dream about white and black sleeve...

[dylskee]

Ok, how do you sleeve the USB, Fire Wire and Audio cables from the TJ07? I can't see how the connector comes apart on these things.

[ecidious]

Nah, the heatshrink hasn't melted, I'm just being paranoid and wondering. It is really heavy-duty heatshrink, though - 4:1 ratio 6mm glue-lined. Works great for fans, etc. (see previous pictures) but I'm gonna have go and buy some non-glue-lined 3:1 4mm for the ATX and EPS connectors - this current stuff is so thick when shrunk that I had to trim it thinner just to get the pin back into the connector, and that's still with only heatshrinking up to the end of visible plastic on the cable!

I thought the sleeving itself looked a bit melted at the end near the shrink, but maybe it's glue from the shrink. Better shrink for this situation sounds like the solution though, so best of luck.

There's a little 'tab' of plastic on the connector that needs to be lifted up, eg. with a pin or very small screwdriver. If you look on the 'back' of the connector, gently wedge the implement of your choice just above the bit of metal pin that you can see. The plastic flap should lift up and you can pull out the wire. You have to do this for every pin on the connector.
