psu sleeving advice

[jameshumphries47]

Okay im going to make this quick. over the weekend i started to sleeve my pc its like 60% done and sitting on top of my case powering my pc... sketchy. anyway i used paracord and 6mm heat shrink of ebay came to a total of about £12 i ordered 100ft of para-cord of ebay. and 3m of heat shrink on ebay... well that was a mistake i didnt order enough. so sleeving has stopped 15 hours in because i ran out of shrink. but ordered 3 more. okay i have some advice for anyone thinking about it... i have never done it before and im 14 its very enjoyable!

1. take a few days off work! it takes a long time i did a 24 pin and an 8 pin in about 15 hours! still got to tidy it up and do a pci-e lead. 
2. do not buy tools unless your using molex, i paid £20 for some tools, the one i needed broke when i first used it!!! best thing to use believe it or not are staples! cheap, easy, cost near enough to replace!
3. wear padded gloves! your fingers really hurt after a while!
4. buy a lighter, makes life so much easier than matches
5. and finally take your time... it pays off. 

good luck!

Looks good. Not sure what took you so long i did the 24pin on mine in about 2h Also if anyone is using staples use puncture proof gloves or pliers unless you like your fingers pierced by staples... (happened twice to me )
