How or where could I custom sleeve the cables on my power supply. Should I diy or pay someone to do it?

Wrap tin foil around them.  It would be so cool!

On a serious note if you could find a way to do it yourself it would be cool even if you just put a layer of what is already there.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

If you want to pay somebody for sleeved cables, that's up to you, but I'd personally sleeve them myself and take a stab at it

 

From what I've seen online, MDPC sleeving is the best type of plastic sleeving. (But their website (http://en.mdpc-x.com/) has been down since October 14 although they say they're just taking a break while the move. As a result, nobody seems to stock it, and whatever stock there is, it's quite limited)

 

You could also go with paracord sleeving if you wanted (I just prefer the look of plastic sleeving)

 

Lutro0 has some really good guides on sleeving, his youtube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/lutro0

Sleeving isn't too bad to do on your own, It just takes a while. So if you have time and patience I'd say go for it. Just to get you started, you'll probably need close to 150-200ft of sleeving Depending on if you have to do peripheral cables or not.
