    GruntvillE has put together an article on sleeving the unruly tangle of cables that emerges from your PSU - or in the Grunts own words - 'The most comprehensive guide to Sleeving your PSU ever':

    Unfortunately this comes with another warning. The inside of your PSU has capacitors which can hold a dangerous charge and you can be shocked even with it unplugged. If you are not sure how to safely handle or work inside the PSU then I would advise you to skip this part and simply end the sleeving as close to the PSU as possible.

    The PSU will have several bundles of wires coming off it that each end in their own molex connector. Each of these wires supplies your components with a particular voltage or ground. For the most part, these wires are not interchangeable and each one should go back to the same spot it came from on the molex to make sure your components aren’t damaged by supplying them with the wrong voltages. The easiest way not to get mixed up is to do one molex at a time and to make yourself a drawing of the molex and its respective wires before you take it apart. With this in mind, the next sections will deal with removing each particular molex and sleeving the wiring for it.


    Is it the most comprehensive guide to Sleeving your PSU ever? find out here. Available on minidisk, CD and DAT..... :D

    Apologies to purveyors of the Best in the World - Ever compilations. (Not!)
