so im wanting to have sleeved cables for my corsair CXM 750 psu but i dont want to spend $80 for sleeved cables for a $100 psu. but Idk where to begin and how difficult it is i also want something to do so im not so bored but i also fear i may screw something up. so i was also think of seeing if i could pay someone on the forum to do it for me. which would be better doing it my self. or paying someone to do it but i want to know how much it will cost to get started and how hard it is. please help

also if you could make me a list with links of what i would need and where to buy them you get extra internet points

just hit up ebay or NCIX just need heat shrink, sleaving and a mod tool, its not hard to do just very time consuming and i doubt any1 in the fourm in there right mind would custom sleave cables for under that price :)

Plenty of guides on the youtubes even linus has a basic one wich will get you started.

I just started sleeving myself and currently in the middle of my first attempt at it (case fans, front I/O, PSU). I ordered all of my stuff from ModDIY (sleeves, heatshrink, pin removal tool set, etc.)

http://www.moddiy.com/categories/Cable-Sleeving/?sort=bestselling

http://www.moddiy.com/products/modDIY-Black-Heatshrink-%280.6mm-to-22mm%29.html

http://www.moddiy.com/products/Sunbeam-Universal-Molex-Pin-Remover-%28Full-Set%29-.html

If you notice in the first link they have a chart of what size sleeve/heatshrink you will need depending on what you are planning to sleeve.

In quick...

individual wire sleeving: 3mm sleeve with 4mm shrink

case front I/O: 4mm sleeve 5mm shrink

sata cables: 10mm sleeve 12mm shrink

The prices are good and shipping to Canada is a reasonable rate. They have so much stuff I never knew existed. Will be posting a build log here once I'm done.

Sleeving it's self isn't hard; however, getting everything neat and well done takes a very long time and can be a real heartache to do properly. Moreover, if you want to sleeve your PSU completely, you will have to void the warranty on it which isn't preferable. Have a look at buying sleeved cable extensions from BitFenix as they offer the same look, minus the danger involved.
