Recommendations for cable sleeving.

[Britanian]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a sleeving supplier in the uk. Plus post ideas for good colour combinations and different techniques.

Brit,

If you want a Cheap, Easy method, just grab some Paracord off of amazon. Look up a tutorial on how to sleeve with it. I did it and it looks, in my opinion, better than MDPC

A Buddy and I used two Staples as pin removers. Did the trick just fine. We sleeved both of our entire Power supplies for under $40.

Go to e22.biz. It has all of lutro0 customs tools and sleeving pretty much so it is going to be very good quality whatever you decide upon.

I can back up what charlezprice here says. Super cheap, looks great For ATX connectors you can sleeve them heatshrinkless (looks better IMO anyway), only the SATA power connectors require heatsrhink, but cheap 4mm stuff will do the job

E22.biz is going to have the best supplies for you. He has paracord and pet type sleeve

Possibly, but Amazon or Ebay is usually a lot cheaper, if you're willing

[NZXT-Eric]

Cheaper doesn't mean better. Quality is important when it comes to the sleeve you get. Paracord is always going to be the most affordable. PET style sleeve costs more, but looks the best.

I never said it is better, just cheaper and a good option. I personally like the look of paracord sleeving very much, but what "looks the best" is totally just opinion. As for quality, there are many different factors to consider, such as how well the cables will bend and hold their shape, how well the colour stays etc.

 

This thread compares different sleeving very well:

He should have checked out lutro0 customs also.

That is true, Lutro0 has everything needed for a great sleeved system with a variety of sleeving options. However, if going for the cheap paracord method, there is no point buying the Lutro0 paracord as it is all the same, and I can personally verify this after using both his and cheap chinese paracord.

i would go to http://mdpc-x.com the have basically everything you need to get started at an awesome quality :-)

Actually, not all paracord is made the same. Lutro0 has sourced the best paracord for sleeving. He offers cordless paracord and a paracord sleeving tool to help you out. This is one of the reasons why I go to him for all my sleeving needs. He spends a ton of time and invests alot of his money in finding the best products.

Everything you have just said is correct, however almost all paracord will be of the same quality, especially if it is rated for 550 lb. As for coreless, it doesn't matter to me, because I would prefer the cheaper route, even with a little extra work (and buying 100ft for the price of his 25ft does make a difference) However, Lutro is a trusted seller, and has everything you'd ever want for sleeving, so is a definite one stop shop.

 

All I'm saying, is that I have found a method that works for me which is very cheap, and costs only $6 for 100ft of paracord, but I have to live with problems such as long delivery times, hassle not using nicer tools, and so on.

 

Both will get the same result.

Very well said. I understand that price is always a problem.
