Sleeving on non-modular power supply

[overflowsc]

Hi guys, 

 

I don't know much about cable sleeving but I would like to sleeve my pc's cables. 

 

I wanted to know if it was possible to make custom sleeving on non-modular PSU. I currently have a Corsair TX750 (http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/skymtl/PSU_review/TX750/CORSAIR-9.jpg) and I was not really planning on changing it.

 

Also I wanted to know what are good starting points to know more about custom sleeving (where to buy stuff and tutorials).

 

Thanks in advance.

You can but your warranty will be no more. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/12089-zeus-fractal-r4-blueblack-internal-ut60-rad-by-alpenwasser-complete/?p=212006

Yes, you can, though if you want to do the best looking job you can, you'll have to take apart the PSU's shell so you can go further into it. Or you can just use heatshrink material right where it goes inside, but will be noticeable depending on placement of the PSU. Take note, however, this will void your warranty.

 

If you want the best, top-notch cable sleeving job/services/materials/tools/DIY kits, etc I highly recommend LutrOo Customs. (http://lutro0-customs.com)

 

However, you can find all the materials, tools & sleeving at these awesome mod sites:

FrozenCPU - http://www.frozencpu.com/index.html

PerformancePCs - http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php

XoXide - http://www.xoxide.com

ModDIY - http://www.moddiy.com

 

Also, on YouTube there are a plethora of great cable sleeving tutorials. One by our very own almighty Mr. Sebastian. If you want professional-grade work, look up LutrOo Customs on YouTube. Mike is more or less known as the Sleeving King.

Hope that helps.

in addition to taking the PSU apart, it's very likely that you'll have to sand the opening of the PSU or else the wires won't be able to be routed through while sleeved.

Whoa thx guys that was fast.

 

I don't have a warranty on the PSU anyways so that won't be a problem.

 

I started to watch LutrOo's videos on Youtube and it's very interesting.

You might be interested in what we are offering. Gold plated crimp pin/terminal, silver plated wires and son on. Take a look:

There is a way you won't damage any internal parts of you PSU and still get very close to ideal result. Cut all connectors and shorten the cables length, crimp terminals and put on regular connectors. Then buy or make extension cables with sleeving and length to your desire. So you have a non modular but fully modular power supply, sort of, combined. Just need to find a good place to hide connectors.

not knocking anyone's products at all, specially someone in the same field as I am,

 

But gold plated, silver plated, and such - none of it makes a large enough difference to pay a premium for any kinda premium wire or terminal. Plain wire and regular terminals are the best way to go to save yourself some money in an already expensive hobby.

But if you have the money to burn - go for it.

With all respect to your contribution, excellent work, and sharing of your knowledge and experience, our supply is not more expensive even they are better quality.

Our TEFLON coated silver plated wire is slightly more expensive than regular wires, but it does not need sleeving which makes finished cables not more expensive than sleeved cables.

Gold plating is very commonly used for signal and power connection, take a look at your high end headphones, microphones and sound cards. Gold plated terminals may not make any difference, but they are not expensive either. $0.08 each is not premium price comparing to $0.40/5pc.

After all, I don't see how it is a burn of money by buying better quality supplies within the same price range.

 

We designed and built our website ourselves, and created shopping cart using PayPal. We do not pay any website for their template or trading platform other than paypal, and even if we have no sales in 10 years, we pay nothing to PayPal. The website host service is what I purchased for my person industrial design portfolio website. I personally own that domain and the storage, and adding a new sub domain adds no cost. Sub domain and hosting cost is not factored in our products because I need to pay for that personally anyways. And that is how we keep our price competitive.

Despite the cheapest plan, we all have more than 25 products or pages or galleries, the lowest price option is $29/month at shoptify, $24/month at squarespace, and $15/month at volution w/ 1GB bandwidth(I don't know what it can affect, but others provide unlimited bandwidth at previously mentioned price). We DO NOT HAVE this cost.
