    Hi,

    Where can I find a online retailer that is in the USA.. that sells black molex and sleeving?

    I went to frozencpu and added up my cart and it was $75 without shipping.. I see a problem with that, nothing should cost that much.

    So, I'm hoping there is another place that google isn't picking up on..

    Thanks,

    -emu

    (oh and don't flame me, i used the search, which doesn't appear to be working right, it came back with no results no matter what i entered in)

    Damn, how much did you buy? I was gonna say FrozenCPU - cause they are the only ones I deal with besides Xoxide.com. Special color molex parts cost alot compaired to bulk plastic. i can get 100 non-colored for 8.50, but Frozen sells the black ones for 75 cents a piece. I dont think that's to bad.

    They didn't have their black kits in stock, so I basicly made my own, cutting some parts out and getting a few more.. i have no idea how it got to be so much, their sleeving is 29.99.. umm, no..

    So, blah, I am still searching, lucky you UK people for that type of stuff

    Thanks tho, -emu

    Where do you see sleeving for $30?

    They sell black sleeving for $1.00 / $0.79 / $0.59 for 1/2-in, 1/4-in, and 1/8-in sized sleeving.


    Also, you could just dip you molex connectors in some black paint, or you could even just get a permanent marker and color all over them :hip:

    even cheaper method would be to go to wal-mart or an autoparts store and buy black vinyl dye or black krylon fusion and paint the molex connectors and/or sleeving yourself... only about 4 bucks for a can and it'll last you a long while
