    What I want to sleeve:

    2 - 6pin PCI-E (geforce gtx 260)
    1 - 24pin to mobo (corsair hx1000 and evga x58)
    1 - 8pin to cpu
    2 - sata II cables
    2 - power cables to HD and cd drive
    2 - power cables to 120mm fans

    iIwant to wrap each individual wire, and ten maybe put a big sleeve over them.

    i have a lian li v2000 plus II case, if you have any good pictures of wire management they would be helpful

    i have decided on this kit, but need to know if it is enoughfor what i am doing:
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=825

    i also need to know what tools i need to buy to remove the pins or anything else. So please point me in the direction of a good tool/price

    thank you

    Hey Charmz, I don't see a sleeving kit in what you're linking to.
    You could go the route that GavX is suggesting. I just wanted to let you know that you don't really need special tools for the job (I used a small eyeglasses/Jeweler screwdriver for most of the pins and a filed down bobbypin for the ATX & pcie power stuff)
    I'm not sure what you mean by individual wrap and sleeving a group. If you want to sleeve individual wires, you're gonna need more of the small sizes than a kit provides, so you might want to get a kit, and then order a bunch of extra smallest sized sleeves.
    Once I get my photobucket sorted, you can check out some of my sleeving to see what I mean, as I took a bunch of pics of the sleeving process, and of my mistakes to learn from! (I've had to buy extra, and i'm planning on redoing my PSU sleeving just cause it looks kinda crappy.)

    Oh yeah, and there are TONS of good examples of wire management here to look at. Use the search. Read some project logs. Also Million Dollar PCs gets linked to a lot for some odd reason. ;)
