On island lor


Btw Doom : Iznt 1" too long of heatshrink there? Too much of heatshrink nvr looked nice for me but duno bout others lah

I only leave a space of 1 - 1.5 cm normally

After all, depends more on individual preference rite?

LoL.....come out from the island bombman

Reply:Bombman

like u said it depend on the preference ,,,,but slightly longer allowed u to cover and hold the sleeve for sure .... so good for beginner .....

for experience modder usually measures according to the thickness of the cables that u try to sleeve through .....

use more for thicker while shorter for slimmer ..

I'm of the long heatshrink school of thought too. I do it with long heatshrink with a ziptie underneath. That's the only way it'll stay nice n tight if ure the type who always messes with ure hardware n always install, remove stuff. I used to do the short style but it always comes off in the end coz I'm always playing around with my wiring. So it really depends, if u do it once n stop messing with ure rig for years then yeah short is nice. But I seriously doubt many fellas here r like that. After all this is the section for bekside itchy modders like us who never leave things alone.

Somtimes I do pass Seberang/Butteworth while heading 2 AS, SP or KL. But most of da time my schedule so hectic that I couldnt leave island


Hehe...I understand ur reasons now. It makes sense, specially for beginners.


Hakhak...mr mod, do u really remove those hardwares so oftenż

Btw, may I knw wht type of heatshrink u normally use dude? Coz the one I use doesnt come off easily although I always pusing˛ da wires. Mebe coz of diff handling ways

Hehehe. Yes I do. I've changed 4 mobos, 4graphics cards, 3 PSUs, 3-4 HSFs in the past 1 year alone. I'm a harware changing maniac.
I also constantly play around with the wiring, thinking up n trying new ways of hiding as many wires as possible.

The heatshrink tubing I use is Hong Sheng brand from electronics shops.

Heat shrink tubing (or commonly "heat shrink") is a thin tube which shrinks in diameter when heated. Heat shrink is used to insulate wires, connections and terminals in Electrical Engineering. It can also be used to repair wires, bundle wires together, and to protect wires or small parts from minor abrasion. (wiki!)

bbs,if i remembered big bang sales ->BBS 5

Vantec,Makers of cpu coolers, fan cards, cables, DC brushless fans, and more. ->Vantec's website

other than the forums,try going shop to shops

but i often go to modernopc.com for modding stuffs
