Cable Sleeving color options?

[bobhays]

Hi guys, I'm planning to make a build pretty soon (already have most of the parts) and the theme is going to be gold and black. I have an Asus Z87-A motherboard, and some gold vengeance RAM (not vengeance pro, the gold is darker on mine). I want to sleeve ALL my cables and i'm not sure what colors to go with. 

 

Here are some options I was thinking of:

All gold

All black (kinda simple/boring but very nice and clean)

Gold and black (alternating)

Black, gray, and gold (alternating, might have to make some changes for the 8-pin power)

 

Any ideas or suggestions would help.

 

I also would like any tips on coloring my fans and the IO brackets.

 

Thanks in advance.

Where are you buying sleeving from? Gold and Black does sound good, but mentioning grey is a good point, might work well too...

Im probably gonna get it from amazon, 550 paracord or from LutroO customs. Amazon has cheaper pricing, but I also need to get the pin remover (my first sleeving project)

what is your budget for sleeving? you might see suggestions to get mdpc sleeving instead.

 

personally would go black and gold in this sort of style, the black would be the white and your gold color would be the red.

 

I am one that would go with the all black sleeving with 1 strand of grey, because I am a fan of the single color scheme.

Personally I prefer the fabric finish of paracord over the plastic of mdpc. I do like their vanilla sands color for gold.

Sounds good to me. I've done a bit of sleeving with paracord, and as long as you watch a couple tutorials, you'll be golden. Mostly black, with gold highlights would be my bet.

haha thanks, expect a build log to be up soon in the next week or two

What type of sleeving would you use for case fans and for sata data, and sata power cables?

Just paracord still, but you'll need some cheap 4mm heatshrink too

Would the same sized paracord fit over the sata data cables?

I would do black with gold accents

So say on The 24 pin

If you lace the cables it looks incredible

Something I need to get around to learning about....

I think you might be out of luck there.. hmm. Mod DIY have some stuff that would work, as well as MDPC-X and Lutro0

I saw that lutro had some, I also found some on ebay but none of them other than MDPC have the colors I would like and MDPC is too expensive. I don't mind paying extra for the sleeving but the shipping is killer. I'm gonna have to search around to find a black that at least matches the black on my other cables. I would honestly prefer gold, but I guess they don't make those in the sata size.

 

EDIT: I only need a 10 foot sleeve for my 2 drives, I could use the rest for any other large cables I want to sleeve.

Im probably gonna use the red and white example for the24-pin but what should i use for the 8 pin and 6pin ones? Keep the same theme or change it up?

On my build with black and purple I will be going BPBBPBBBPBBB BPBB on the motherboard 24 pin and 8 pin which are next to each other. That with black and gold would look epic IMO
