120 foot of top quality braiding goodness. Some piccies from my log, by the time i've covered the watercooling tubing ther will be not much left over from 120 foot of the stuff And one from my previous build ;
I'll be getting an extension tube, but OFC my money goes into my PC first and camera second I can get the whole image in focus, I just like the bokeh. I also don't like seeing the ugly un-sleeved cables in focus. Thanks for the suggestions though! PS: How well do those macro filters work? The idea of extra glass makes me skeptical, surely they can't help more than an extension tube and not degrade image quality a lot?
Never noticed degredation but then I'm on a S5000 but each to there own. It all depends on your photography ability but for only a few quid its a good short term measure untill you get the tubes. Taken using an S5000 and a +10 filter and zero ability.
sorry if this is the wrong place for this question! Im going to be rebuilding my pc, and will have a total of 5 fans and a mCubed T-Balancer to shut them the hell up. I was wondering what size sleeve most people would use to cover fan sized wires? Ill be removing the fan housing to fit the heat shrink / sleeve so would 4mm be sufficient?
I use 3mm and that is more than enough. So 4mm (if it is even available) should be okay. You can usually just remove the connector, put some tape over the iron clips and sleeve it by the way. No need to remove the housing.
wow, this is like OCD for you guys, isn't it? I prefer to just hide away my cables rather than sleeve them, but this looks interesting.
Defyant was an inspiration. I wonder if he still mods around, and where? Mofocases was what made me take my first baby steps into hacking up hardware.
Set about sleeving the rest of my PSU yesterday and then the tool snapped. Looks like it will have to wait, have a PCI-E and part of the ATX done so far.
Which tool were you using? I use the sunbeam kit and it's been bulletproof so far. On an unrelated note, I finally bought a heatgun and I can honestly say I'm not going back to lighters ever again. It's SO much easier and no burning/blackening issues.
I was using the Molex remover, which, incidentally I found the other day on a US site for import @ $11. Might get a couple sent to my BundleBox when I get some more stuffs from PerformancePCs, being as I also managed to snap part of the ATX connector. Will get some pictures of what I've done so far in a bit; will get a sunbeam kit on order next week. I think I'll have to get a heatgun, these lighters are driving me crazy,
The sunbeam one is good, but not bulletproof either. You will have to be carefull with those things. It's only very thin metal. Personally I have been using a wind-proof lighter. You know, the lighters with a blue flame. They burn a lot hotter and cleaner, so you won't be leaving any carbonmarks on the heatshrink, you can keep it at a distance and no spinning wheel to make your thumbs go raw. I have been using a Turboflame but that might be a bit expensive for some at €15,- for a lighter.
When you can get a Heatgun for about $20, the expensive lighter becomes hard to pick. But I'm a smoker, I should actually have picked the cool lighter
While attempting to sleeve a Sata cable, then realizing that I didn't have any heatshrink for the ends, and one end became rather frayed, I decided to make myself a bracelet out of the sleeving.
Just Say No to Sleeving... I should point out that I am moving away from sleeving and going bare wires. Looks better IMHO. I'm too lazy right now to go take a pic of the connector with all the wires in it, but the first pic will show you the direction I'm going. Just say no to sleeving! Here's some examples of my previous sleeving projects.
that speaker wire is also much more flexible than standard PSU wire too isn't it? thats a very good idea. would make routing wires alot easier.
