So how did you get that heatshrinkless look while using what appears to be plastic MDPC-style sleeving?

 

Took a quick look around, didnt see any threads where its just good photos of sleeved solutions

I'll start:

"A picture is starting to form here... I wonder if it's accurate? Some pieces don't quite seem to fit. Or maybe I just don't like the way it looks."

Same way you'd do it with any other brand. Burn some heatshrink to melt the sleeve and cut it off

Cool, thanks. I saw a tutorial for that on another site, but I didn't know if there was another way of doing it or not.

 

I was going to buy some sleeved cable extensions, but now I'm leaning toward sleeving my own. I don't have an amazing rig, but I would like some sleeved cables, and I may as well sleeve my first cables on a $60 PSU rather than doing a crappy job on a $150 PSU.

 

I also don't trust myself to get a clean look with visible heatshrink.  :P

I recommend. Going with the extension. You'll spend more money doing it yourself at first due to having to learn it and purchasing all the supplies and parts.

extensions are ugly... and the connectors are thick and bulky

I disagree.

Case and point, this is all extensions

Do note I mentioned the connectors. Mind showing us the rear? By default, PSU cables are 60 - 65CM. If u add in the extensions which are 30 - 40CM. So in total each cable are close to 1metre long. Good luck in cable managing them.

Correct, they're not meant for a tight case, this is a caselabs sma8 or something. Plenty of rool to hide it all and have the doors fit perfectly. Also a clean back is nice, but not the focal point. If you've got the room extensions provide that perfect 1:1 look.

Personally used extension before and I am not using them again. True to what newlioey had said, cable managing the extra length cable is a nightmare for me. I used extensions for my previous build and had really hard time hiding the extra cables in my 800D.

They also don't void your warranty if you care about that sort of thing, and allows you to switch psus in case you upgrade. To each their own

If you have a full modular psu, it does not even void warranty by doing custom cables. This is one of the main reason ppl go with full modular PSU. Agree with you, to each their own. Cheers

My absolute first attempt at sleeving a SATA cable.

All the SATA cables plugged in with the system on:

May be doing some more sleeving, but most cables are hidden, so only a few visible cables from the outside.
