I know this is the not the right spot for this but i thought this was the best forum to ask it in. I have been looking for cable sleeves to help theme my case but I was wondering what people recommend.

Err... Whats with the calendar? lol, but anyway, are you wanting to do the sleeving yourself or have stuff premade?

i want stuff not permanent

Not permanent? Cable extensions would do it... Anyway sleeving your own cables requires a lot of time and patience and an intermediate level of skill. I'd definately say have a look at the BitFenix Alchemy extensions, and pick some out from there that suit your build and match your requirements.

Buy some Paracord (obnoxious amount of colors available  very cheap) off eBay and a pin tool to remove the cables from the PSU cable sockets. 

 

This is a lot easier if you have a modular PSU. If you don't, it can still be done, it's just a bit more laborious. 

 

And don't bother with extensions. They look "ok" but they're lazy as fuck. If you want something sleeved don't half ass it, do it right.

There is no real reason to fully sleeved cables. You can't see any difference between fully sleeved and extensions and they are cheap.

you do see the difference, every time you look at that PSU if you don't have a shroud. 

There's also some pride in doing it yourself, plus it's probably cheaper if not the same price. 

 

to reiterate, I mean buying the sleeving and doing it yourself.

It also takes quite a few hours so it wouldn't be worth it for me.

It takes awhile to do so. Plus, it actually is cheaper to order it and also neater.

well he can decide that for himself

some people build as a hobby, I wouldn't imagine buying sleeved cables to appeal to someone like that.

 

And I seriously doubt it's cheaper to buy sleeved extensions for everything.
