I'm about to sleeve my video card power cables, and I wanted to glance at a few examples to see how others did it. In the process, I thought I'd take a look at MDPC to see some really clean ones. What I saw upset me:
How the heck did Charles do that? What kind of shrink can you get to make a seamless transition from the cable to OVER the connector like that? And where do I get some? Now I'll never be satisfied with anything I do, because I'll never be as good as Charles, lol.
Seriously though, where can I find some shrink like that? I LOVE the way that turned out. I also noticed that in the past he used to sleeve each of the video card wires individually, but for this build he bundled them into one. I think it came out much cleaner and since I'm not on water yet, I need as little air restriction as possible.
So really I'm asking Charles but if anyone else has some insight they can offer I'd really appreciate it. What size sleeving & shrink should I be buying (from MDPC-X, of course) in order to pull this look off? I'm initially thinking I need the "SATA" sets, but I'm not sure.
I have a different idea with the connectors themselves (I'm trying to come up with a way to make it look like one big connector and one medium-sized wire), but I want to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot at any step along the way.
Thanks!
