Modding The Bit-Tech Sleeving Thread

Yes a macro lens is wat you need and good light.

Anyone for more Photos

 

Lovely shots again Bentleya.

Obviously, I am still new to this whole sleeving job and I really wish I had more sleeving, I think I have to order more.

I finished my ATX cable last night and here is the dishevelled mess that it is....







It's very rough I know, but I am happy with it all thus far. The base of the PSU won't really be seen, thus the cables won't be either. It was really hard to do them with a lighter. I am trying to refrain from buying a heatgun as I have bought so many "one off" tools for modding it's insane, close to €300 worth thus far. Still it should all look nice in the Obsidian

 

You should put one BIG tube of heatshrink over all the cables of the 24-pin right where it goes into the PSU. Also, please tell me you dismantled the PSU for the 24-pin sleeving?

Not that I'm one to judge, I bought a DA700 simply so that I wouldn't have to take the PSU apart (and then I promptly dumped a Xigmatek fan in, so I opened it anyway )

 

Nope.... left myself the delusion that the warranty would still be intact

I have a few ideas for hiding that awful sight anyway

 

I used electrical tape for that....

 

What do you guys think about weaving sleeved cables:



Would ATX-connectors with weaved separate cables look nice?

 

I think something with 3 cables may look good, But the 24 pin would look to messy

 

agreed!

 

I think that's exactly what i want to do, i love that look, just always been to lazy to do it.

 

It could work with an 8pin.

I don't think it would work as well with a fan connector though because the cables are thinner.

 

weaving an atx cable wont work, because there are way to many wires to actually weave, the wire length would increase drastically, not to mention how messy it would look, but what you could to is to make streaks out of 3-4 cables and sleeve them, then weave, that could look cool =)

 

I like your idea, FrooP. I'll have to think about that.

 

Time to buy some more sleeve me thinks.

 

Woops, double post.

Just some more pics while I wait for some more sleeving.

 

Good idea. I personally don't like the looks of 24 individually sleeved pins but the braided look should look nice, even if made up of 24 (instead of 8 or so) individual sleeved cables.

 

A. It's not finished (3 wires left when I took the pics)
B. I didn't sleeve the last inch or so as you won't see it and I didn't have enough sleeving to do the last bit anyways.

 

Nice colour scheme

 

Those photo's need a lot of work, they're not turning out like I want them to. That's what you get for a $1 photo studio (cardboard box and a piece of bristol board).

 

Thank goodness for this thread! I was about to come on here tonight and post a new topic about sleeving but someone already beaten me to it Some of the sleeving photos on here already are amazing, and whoever is shooting with the Cannon 450D - please keep on posting the pr0n

Discussion on sleeving for my project moved here.

 

Very nice work there however as to the photo's I have a few ideas.

1, try a macro filter on the end of the lens (they just screw on)
2, Look into macro stacking.
You take lots of macro photo's focused a tiny bit different (eg further back) and a program stitches it together. You should end up with a super image with more of the image in focus.
