    yeah you can put sleeves on them.

    I got mine from frozencpu. they got white, black, purple, red, yellow and red (maybe I forgot one or two there...) and it's pretty inexpensive so..;)

    like I've done

    well the sleeves can expand 3 times I think their original size but it's better to take off the molex and floppy connectors...

    really easy to do:lol:

    Yeah , that last post was a good one (the site)


    I must advice that too , lol


    but if you dont wanna go true alllllllll that trouble ...


    just buy some tubing ... cut it open ... put it around the wire's ... and just do some ... uhm (I dont know the name .. but its like a little plastic thing that u can do around it , and close it , so its tightend ..... "span banden" in dutch ....

    and u can use that system on anything ...

    and its very easy aswell


    just a thought ....

    U could just buy rounded IDE cables

    but then again .. thats expensive ...

    I like cheaper mods ... with money u can acheive anything ... but .. where's the modding in that ?


    buying rounded cable's .... buying nice looking stuff ... buying a windowed case ... buying a stealth drive .... that just takes all the fun away !!!

    Well here is what I did. I really hate messy wires so a clean interior is a must with my cases.

    [​IMG]

    My breifcase mod I have been working on I cut off about 90% of the cabling that it came with and am now trying very very hard to reattach the shortened cabling but I think I am failing miserably. Maybe my soldering iron is a POS or something <sigh>. I have got barely no room to work with inside the psu because of all those damn cables in there. Maybe I should do some desoldering of the useless stubbs I cut off?

    Basically my enermax powersupply in my breifcase was just getting in the way.
    So I cut off all the excess cables and left the main mobo power lead and then 1 normal lead for my hdd/cdrom.
    The remaining "stubbs" are about 1" in length and are all individually electrically taped so nothing touches eachother.

    Also, I must have gotten some extremely poor quality nylon sleeving for my project. I attmepted to melt the ends of them and they just decintigrated basically. Weak thin crap, and it even said fire resistant in the description! I couldn't even melt the heatshrink without burning half of the sleeving away! So I had to finish the job off with electrical tape, which as everyone knows SUCKS and comes apart after a while.

    Lol that was something else I was gonna tell you, but it was pushed back to the 30th, dont worry, I shall deliver as promised :D

    As far as your enermax, do you live in the states? if so, you could send it to me and I could work on it for you..................


    EDIT: Duh I read your profile, looks like Denva to me, yah think about sending it to me, I could fix er up for a small fee.
