The $4.38 Sleeve Mod

[cubemaster27]

So I decided to clean up the wiring in my pc, but didn't want to spend 3 days on sleeving every single wire to perfection. So what I did was I grabbed a few cord organization kits as well as heat-shrink from Home Depot (where I work) and started to organize and sleeve my non-modular power supply as well as a few other cables. (it's a non-modular power supply because it was a return and it was $80.00, but nothing was wrong with it) The wiring kits cost a total of $4.38 and the thick corrugated tubing was $.99 for 10 FEET! - the other tight wrap heat-shrink was $2.38 and came with 2 thicknesses.

The corrugated tubing matches the tubing that is on my Domino ALC

Below is the original wiring job followed by the finalized version.

(so ing sloppy!)



New wiring job (muuuuuch better )

It's amazing what you could do with less then $5.00 in your wallet
The next step is to get PC Cable Tie Kits that mnpctech sells so then it can be XTREMELY neat to a pin, but I'll save that for next time

That... actually doesn't look too bad! I might do something similar for my wires behind the motherboard (budget means I had to skimp on sleeving; only ordered enough to cover my cables that were exposed).

nice work and yes it is amazing what you can do for almost nothing to a little money. I actually like the tiny zip ties also

Great work so far

Not bad looks, but I bet 100x easier than 'real' sleeving.

This technique is so old its almost retro....almost.

imo black zip ties would have looked better

totally agree..i used the same split loom on my P2 or P3. But good work on wire management though
