    Ok so I'm just about to start a mammoth sleeving project on my beautiful enermax revolution 1050w power supply, I love the look of the power supply, unfortunately the sleeving on the modular and non-modular cables is HORRENDOUS, this obviously means voiding my warranty which I'm not particularly bothered about, what am bothered about though is damaging an expensive piece of kit, so does anyone have any helpful advice, tips tricks etc and the best way to go about sleeving? I'm going to do some of the modular cables first to make sure I get my sleeving technique spot on, but at some point I will have to open her up and do the 8 pin 24pin etc, so any help would be thoroughly appreciated :D

    Unless you want total perfection you can cheat. Instead of opening up the PSU braid all the cables and then slide a piece of shrink wrap about 3 inches long right up to PSU and tuck it in. It tidies it up quite nicely.

    I got my tool from there as well, but I bought extensions and sleeved them instead to avoid voiding the warranty.

    oh yeah, that revolution is a b**ch for individual sleeving, you'll need to file around the non-modular cable hole to fit em all back in again.

    It's a bloody expensive PSU that's for sure, buy extensions and don't void the warranty.
