Think I'm the only one here who sleeved shit himself everyone else bought the pre sleeved cables.

I followed this guide here.

This is what I bought...

Buy 550lb paracord (150ft for half a psu and 200ft for full psu)
Your going to want 2:1 4mm / 2mm / 8mm / 14mm tubing in my experience.

This was the thread I had up.

I did take a short cut at the end and shrink tube the whole cables at the bottom since I did not want to cut the psu.
I would highly suggest you buy a tool for it the staple method works but is really frustrating.

You could also buy extensions.. But you'll end up with a tonne of cable management.

I sleeved a psu once
Never again

Just buy presleeved unless if you're going for a specific mix of colors.

The only thing I sleeve is my arms. But I heard electrons (or holes, depending on your beliefs) travel faster through sleeved cables. And, even faster through sleeved cables with tiny dragons on them. :D

I'll get my grandmother to sew me some cables with tiny dragons on them. Then I'll mail them to you.
Happy mothers day to the one and only CHD mother, Ghot.
