Cable Sleeving Guide

I think you need to keep the watermarks, Martin - I've seen your pics numerous times. I can always tell, because the sleeving / heatshrink is too perfect You're making me think I have to redo my latest attempts.

I think so too, Sharon. Well... I don't see any other option, really. Thank you for the support though!

Martin, you are one of the best there is at sleeving, and I doubt the other three people would take credit for your work. =)

Personally, I think it detracts from your work as art. I understand you have a business and can emphasize with the frustration plagiarist cause, but eventually they will be found out.

At the very least I would ask you to consider moving the mark to the side, so that if a plagiarist crops it out they crop out the detail of the sleeve.

Anyways, I think your work is incredible art, and it should be treated and respected as such. Feel free to call out the thieves too, that never hurts

I wasn't referring to people posting images on these forums, I was referring to those with their own shops, taking my photos and displaying them as their own product. It's just ridiculous how frustrating it is, seeing that.

I completely understand where you're coming from, though, as far as the watermark detracting from the pics. I really wish I had some viable alternatives. I don't, however, see moving the watermark to a corner as an option... the bulk of the image would be unaffected by the slight crop necessary to remove the watermark.

Oh well; enough of that. Time for some sleeve pics




(made the watermark slightly more transparent )

There you go--it's now about your photos again and less about the watermark.

Can you PM me the websites that the plagiarism occurs? My lawyer buddy can send them a C&D for you. =)

The first page is a guide, once a guide has been told, you can't really explain it over and over again unless new cables come out? People still ask for help in here. Besides, who doesn't love the sexy job Crysis does.

$0.60 per foot?

MDPC-X sleeve is almost 1/2 that cost.

+1, sleeving god

Didn't realize how pain in the ass my XFX power supply was going to be. Normally, you have 23 wires to a ATX cable - mine had 5 with more than one cable attached. So it didn't turn out as neat as my other PSU cables.





Here are some comparisons between stock and 'Clean Cut'.

Hi I'm New to Sleeving Cables and i Have a lot Of Questions tho Im asking instead If it were Possible if Someone Would Wright a Comprehensive Guide In a PDF format so that Someone as stupid as Me Could Download and Print it off so i can Refer back to With Tips and Tricks and Photos as Im Working on the Cables With out Needing to always moving around to the PC.

Dangals I Guess im asking if you Might have the time to make something Like this If you have the Time But I Believe anyone could any Help i can get is Great
Thank you In advance


Some Might think I'm Lazy But Let Me Squash that thought
I'm In a WHEELCHAIR So It Is a lot Harder for me to do the things that Others Find Easy

I did a much better job on my 24-pin ATX extension cable. Took a while too. :tiredsmil

Anyone sleeved round SATA cables?

Using round SATA III cables on new build for better routing. Curious what size MDPC-X sleeve works best for round SATA cables if it's been done.

[ggdh]

I got three of those myself. I think small sleeve will do, even if it will stretch a bit you won't see through as the cable is black

[illidan]

some black stuff

Well thanks to Crys1s_Gam3r, I have a great set of sleeved cables and here are a few pics of them in my actual case. I highly recommend Martin for getting this done. The quality of his work is quite impressive and I certainly couldn't have accomplished it (at least not in any reasonable amount of time, lol). I'm very happy with how they turned out and fortunately everything fits! The Thermaltake TRU 120 just barely fit in under the PSU/Drive mount on the top. Whew! Black zip times and wire management is a must in SFF cases like mine and I think everything works well.









As you can see here it was a tight fit!

[Huww]

Glad to see someone actually showing off his amazing work in their build. It looks great!

Yea, I have to agree. Maybe we can get more tips from people on how they did theirs? I would like to know how do you sleeve into the PSU? I'm looking to get the Enermax revolutions 85+SLI PSU. It has the main cables already connected, so when I sleeve those do I just tuck it in the box, or open the box and pull it through from the back? What did others do?

I know it's off topic, but do these cables work with SATA II devices? I would love rounded SATA II cables...

Thanks to the guy who said to use the hair dryer......has anyone tried to sleeve a DVI cable?? I have the Tower on top of the desk "Showing off" and i noticed i had a bunch of black cables and a yellow ethernet cable when my color scheme is blue/white.

Dug up an old black ethernet and had extra sleeving so i sleeved it white, going to buy blue for the rest. Putting in a million orders because you just never know with the sizing on these cables, once i'm done i'll post pics

[The Duke]

cant wait till I get some money to be able to do this!
