On the Corsair HX620 there is a 4pin cable (besides from the 24 & 8pin) that is not modular, I don't think I'll ever need it, so can I just cut it off and put some heatshrink over it?

Scor: Nice
Great, felt a bit wrong spending alot of time sleeving it and then just hiding it away somewhere.Yes
Scor: Nice
And by the way, the problem I had with the 24pin and the cables not sticking is solved.
It was the ATX plastic housing that was broken just like BlueAqua thought, thanks for the help everyone.

Does anybody know if there is a large difference in small heatshrink from mdpc and this?
I wouldn't ask but my order from mdpc-s got here today and being the idiot I am I ordered twice as much sata heatshrink as I meant to and no small.
@ scor12 will that fit my cooler master realpower? send me that cable now or the kitten gets it :P

So here is some results
Nils thank you for this amazing tool it made sleeving much more easier
Advice: Don't buy the Sunbeam pin-remover it is crap, The sides are too thick, it will not take any pins out instead it will break like that

Made in Germany !
Finally got my Samsung 8000 series LED TV and new receiver and speakers. Sleeved all the speaker wires today with black MDPC-X sleeving. Another great use of beautiful sleeve!
Pictures? PICTURES? PIIIIICTURES?!
Absolutely... many, many, many ways to do just about anything, though I have to admit out of all the various crimping tools the infamous "Crimping Tool" in the arena of ATX pins took me the longest to get modestly proficient at.
I personally find that "tinning" the end of a given wire helps ensure a good contact and prevents wire strands from getting out of line as they sometimes can.
After I've tinned the tip I use my thumb and index finger and gently insert the wire into the pin. Then, just as shazza suggested, using needle nose pliers I squeeze the back crimping braces holding the wire into place.
Next I set the pin in the crimping tool and apply pressure until it clicks 1 time. This allows me to make any adjustments such as squaring the pin flush in the crimping groove.
Before applying anymore pressure I always check the other side of the crimping tool to make sure that the 2 tiny vertical "fins" aren't inside the crimping area.
Finally and with a bit of luck I end up with a result that looks something like the following pic... though I never use looks as my only determining factor. I like to grab the wire with one hand and then grab the crimped pin with the other and pull fairly hard to make sure the pin doesn't come off.
I always try and find 18 gauge wire the exact color of the sleeve at hand, though contrast is more important... Anyhow, I've got to get back to it... Here's a quick and dirty shot of a 24 pin that I think I will redo soon (I since found a cleaner way to heatshrink and so redoing sleeve has become all to common a part of the learning process).

Agenda: I have 0 projects prioritized for the year, 0 in progress this month, 0 this week, and 0 as of this moment.
Current primary function: traveling.
Nice job Xaxis, seriously, it looks fantastic.
Nice guide, xaxis! I was worried you might have been strangled by the ever-growing amounts of sleeving in your workroom - glad to see you surface.
Do you mind sharing your heatshrinking trick with us? I still have troubles getting everything nice and even.
Has any of you tried to use PVC tubing sleeving instead of braided sleeving?
That would look nice, imho
An unfortunate person is one tries to fart but sh1ts instead...
