    Hey all, I thought I'd dig deep into the collective brain, and see what I could come up with good suppliers of sleeving. Primarily, I'll be wanting 1/8in for single sleeving, and something a little bigger for the sata.

    I've previously gotten some techflex type stuff from sleeving kits at fry's and performance-pcs, and while it's been pretty good (my uv blue wasn't very reactive, and you can see through to the wires beneath) I'd like to get some really dense, nice black, red and/or yellow.

    What I'd previously gotten: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=206&products_id=122 (you can see pics in place in my logs.)

    I'm checking out this stuff at mcmastercarr:
    http://www.mcmaster.com/#braided-sleeving/=2nh3qk
    http://www.mcmaster.com/#braided-sleeving/=2nh43c (white and black, ceramic?!)
    http://www.mcmaster.com/#sleeving/=2nh4xg (cheaper stuff, looks as thin as the stuff I already have.)

    Of course, I've heard of the murdermods stuff, which looks pretty good in all the pics I've seen, but seems fairly expensive.

    So in wrapup, you have any suggestions for thickly braided, cheap suppliers, or places I could look locally to save even more... (been spending too much money modding recently!)

    Thanks!

    yeah, I know. I was hoping to get a sample from them to compare with some of this stuff from mcmastercarr. I've never seen either in person.

    Thanks for the link!

    Found this site also while searching, via a link from someone else's thread:

    They've even got clear heatshrink! Sweet!

    There was a review on the net on some German forum comparing different brands of sleeving. Murdermod sleeving pwned them all.
