Our 4mm LC Teleios will fit 2 16awg wires inside of it very snug - this may be to an advantage for you as it will help it stay a bit cleaner.

Also from experiance sleeving two cables into one sleeve on like a 24pin doesnt always turn out the greatest. You may want to consider doing single sleeving and using the heatshrinkless method as it will be easy to do and look very nice.

Here is an example of single sleeving an an Hadreon: 
 

 
This one was done for timmytechtv and he loved it.

I get asked allot on how to get sponsors. I took the time to write up a short idea on how it all works.

The most simple way to explain how to get sponsors IMO without writing a book is as follows.

1. You need to have a few mods under your belt and they need to have visible work logs. I'm not saying you need to have a worklog on every single forum or site out there but have a worklog in which you interact with your subscribers. A good worklog in which the modder takes the time to explain what they are doing with video or lots of pictures and is why people will sub and read about your mod.

2. Help the community and be a part of it, find something you are knowledgeable in or are good at and then help others in that area. If you cant think of an area, pick one you like and read up on it - if you take the time to help others then your name will be known and for a good reason.

3. Try to be original with your mods. Take your time to think of something that other people haven't tried, a color scheme that hasn't been done a billion times, incorporate a medium thats rarely used, and so on.

4. Enter contests with your mods, try to goto lans, shows, and so on. Winning a contest even a small one helps allot. But the biggest part of going to shows or lans is getting to know the people. You can send a thousand emails to a thousand different marketing people but if you take the time to introduce yourself face to face if you get the chance means allot. Hopefully you even get a business card and share yours as well.

4. Once you have accomplished some of that plan out an original mod or scratch build - take the time to have a full plan of what you would like for parts, maybe some renders, or possible get started on some of it.

5. Send an email or even call to those you have met and maybe a couple you haven't - dont spam the entire network, just who you need or planned to for your mod. Start small like one to 3 sponsors and ask for reasonable items and then follow through with your word or any stipulations that may have. Write a professional precise email explaining your project and why you think that their product would be perfect for your mod. (a good tip here is to plan on using parts that are relatively new but not $1000 video cards) Let them know that you understand what it means to be sponsored. As a business owner myself we sponsor people all the time and I am much more willing to sponsor someone that understands that sponsorship is given for you to advertise those products. If you let your contact know you have a plan to show off their parts and merchandise in many different places maybe even do a review or take it to different shows it will help immensely. 

6. Last but not least - just enjoy modding, dont make seeking sponsors the begin and end all of modding for you. There is so many people that make this the focus of why they mod and they end up being those pushy people that think they deserve everything for free, or end up as gimme gimme people and spam the whole world for sponsors. If you just enjoy what you do and continue about your hobby the right time will present itself. Modding is an expensive hobby - even more so for those that do get sponsored as once sponsored you have an obligation to finish that computer and to finish it to the best of your ability and those that don't and just take free stuff are who make it hard for others to get sponsored.

Ok I didn't plan on writing a mini novel there but I hope it helps someone.

Also to answer the question about giving stuff back.

There is different terms for all sponsorships. Sometime the company will pay you to make the mod and provide a budget which in most cases means you give it to them when your done.
Also they may just sponsor you parts in which case they expect you to advertise as much as possible, maybe even goto a show with it.
I have had a few sponsors have me mail my sponsored mod so they could display it at a show or two as a showcase mod, or they ask for your to bring it to the shows with you.

It really all depends on what you and the sponsor agree to.

HELZ YEA IT IS.... ahem I mean it can be a great learning experience and some people find it to be a fun hobby. Yea the right tools can cost a little bit of money upfront but you will be glad you didn't cheap out on the tools.
 
Also like guru said there is allot of shops now that will sell custom pre-crimped wires our shop does as well (mainframecustom.com and I sell them personally to anyone getting into the hobby)

Also there is allot of shops that sell premium extensions made just for you, MFC gives a lifetime warranty on them as well.
 
But if you are on a tight budget there is lots of premade solutions just make sure to check out the pictures of them and read what people say and make your own decision on them.
 
If you need any other help please let me know.

Thanks for the mention, I will be focusing more on custom sleeving here shortly and opening a custom sleeving only division. So keep on the lookout for that.

All yellow can go back into a yellow 12v spot, and all black can go back into a black ground spot.
 
They can be moved around but they need to be put in the same spot for the voltage.

This pic should explain why we use them - they organize the cables perfectly.

since you have red light everywhere in your case I would get black and white sleeves as they will look the same and the white would pop more and the contrast would be better.

MAINFrame Customs will be open here soon for our grand reopening with a nice sale.

The kind you linked to are E22.biz design - We carry his and my LC Stealth Combs. But as far as in CA I dont think there is a shop that carries them there.

I prefer computer with just a soft white light - then again I am a sleever and if you use any color light besides white it washes out the sleeve color.

Yes they are made from tool grade spring steel.

I personally do customs sleeving and I have a good friend at blue horse studios who does air brushing for mods. Shoot me a msg,

www.modbunker.com makes many custom cables. We will be relaunching under MAINFrame Customs this month with a huge sale. =)

Most wires used in computers these days use PVC plastic for the coating. I hope that helps.

I think e22.biz resells them for me - he is in the uk and yes thats what the tool does its milled to fit the terminal in it perfectly. I use mainly LC Teleios which is a pet sleeve we made but I do use our coreless paracord often for those that want it.
 
Also for the 6plus2pins I normally use my double wire method or sleeve it as a 8pin to avoid having to sleeve the double wire on the end of the cable.
 
The double wire method and many others can be seen on my youtube guides /lutro0 (link is in my sig for a good faq and videos - I suggest you read it and watch them all to get the hang of it)
Please feel free to ask any other questions.
