    Hi guys, I'm new here.

    I'm a sleever and cable maker from Italy, today I'd like to show you some of my most interesting and unique works.
    I've been experimenting with braids and new materials and I would like to know what you think about it :)

    Silver cables: only electrical cable - no sleeving. The cable is silver-plated copper with transparent teflon insulation, it reflects and refracts light like no other and it's truly wonderful in a well-lighted and/or RGB build.

    Braided cables: after trying my hand with a really complex prototype that was looking wonderful but wasn't able to finish completely (inspired by the Crysis nanosuit), I went on doing more simple braidings.
    However there's still much more to be experimented in this area!

    I'm not keen on the Teflon coated wires but I like the braiding you've done on the sleeved wires. I'd like to see photos of a completed system with the braided cables.

    Very nice.

    Would be interested to see more LED effects with the teflon cables.

    The dude that got the yellow/grey cable will probably be getting the whole set, cant wait to show pictures of that ;)

    Me too! Still looking for someone with a full-on RGB build for those. The fiber optic-like illumination they get is really nice.

    I'm a sleever as well, tho I stick to standard cables :). Personally I haven't liked the braiding I have seen in the past but you have taken it to a new level, well done sir :)

    Thanks man :clap:
    It's all about experimenting. Braiding is a whole new and unexplored dimension of personalization. You can not only choose the color scheme, but also the shape. Makes for a LOT of extra combinations ;)

    But of course, like with color combinations, not every shape looks good, and not every shape will be universally loved. Just have to experiment ;)

    I agree that the works that I've seen in the past were really not interesting and looking messy. It's all about the approach: one thing is trying to find a cheap gimmick for your latest mod, and another one is doing something new that fits the style of the PC.
