PSU cable sleeves

[GeneralGusher]

Hey, I was just looking at my pc and just realized how bad and unorganized my ocean looks with the classic ketchup and mustard cables. I have a non modular power supply and don’t want to buy a whole new one just for cables. Is there any other way I can make my cables not look so bad?

"you could just jam the other cables into a corner" courtesy of linus but you could hide them in the back of the case or you could take it to a shop that could reorganize the wires

Do your best to hide the original cables and use a cable extension kit , which come in many colors and variations.

Close the side panel and don't look at them. (Free!)

Otherwise you can buy black cable sleeve on sites like ebay. Search cable loom or mesh sleeving and buy some of the nylon mesh stuff with the right diameter to fit your cables. Slide over the cable and cut the sleeving to length. Should only be a few dollars for a couple of meters, which should be plenty. Some black heatshrink can help keep it in place on the cables.

 

What PSU do you have? Your profile specs EVGA 500W, assuming that's the EVGA W1 500W then that already has black mesh sleeving.

Your only option would be to buy extensions, or to buy crimping tool, pins and cable in the color you want and replace the wires with your own.

I have the EVGA w1 0500 KR 500watt psu. It does have mesh already but it’s very thin and you can see through it

I would just save for a decent PSU , no sense in messing with a lower end power supply cables.

You ever heard the terms 'polish a turd" or "lipstick on a pig"?

 

A PSU that's not a complete dumpster fire would cost you less than all the sleeves, terminals, crimping and pin-removal tools and the time you would need to make that PSU look good.  And it would still be a terrible PSU after the fact.
