well...u guyz r the experts...looks like i'll giv the idea a miss then...

have any idea where to buy all these stuffs? give me the link who sell?

i wanna ask...where can i get the sata connector...coz mine broke already while sleeving..

wta, aside frm using cables tie, is there another way to keep the heatshrink frm sliding? Something thats doesnt bulge....coz for smaller wires....the CT looks obvious.

@cablesguy
u could always use electrical tape then heatshrink over the tape.

@fo33il
u could check with uglyvamp. i think he has SATA connectors. UV reactive ones though. not sure if he has black ones.

wooookay thx....will giv it a go.

looks like bro ugly has been MIA...long time since he post any...

this sleeving thing is a nightmare! tried some sleeving last nite - got all sorts of issues like frayed sleeves, overburnt shrinks, too long, too short, sleeves coming out, can't shrink the shrinks near the PSU part, etc. Reading the guide by UV is one thing, actually doing the sleeving is another

Btw, I think Vizo (Vantec) sleeving kits are a ripoff. There's not enough in a pack for the entire PSU. They don't even provide enuf heatshrinks of the right size. There's too many large-sized heatshrinks. Not enough small ones for the molex.

I think it's better to get black heatshrinks, even if you accidentally toast a few, it's not visible. And also buy sleeves separately and not from packs. Measure all the lengths and sizes required, then go shopping for them.

@ZipD

relax bro....sleeving is actually very easy one ler...u just need to slowly take ur time...

overburning the shrinks and sleeves happened to me too... just need to be more careful with the flame.

i did my first PSU sleeving in the dark with just a torchlight for light....my house blackout when i just started doing it that time and it turned out alright.

and i used the vantec kits. also, the heatshrinks from vantec/vizo are thick as hell and ur right..not enough...buying the right sized black heatshrinks is almost a must.

LOlololololOLOLOLOLolololool. This ^ fella is my good fren n he just came over to my hse with the PSU n showed me his disastrous sleeving project. The wires were like wearing baggy carrot cut pants. kekekekekek. I'd help him out but then I dont want to coz I want him to suffer n learn how to do it properly himself.

since dis is a sleevin guide..
1na ask.. is there any L-shape sata cable in the market bside d L-shape sata molex cable.

zzzZZZzzz, just found out that there're MANY sizes for sleeves, not just the 3 size that came with Vizo/Vantec sleeving kit. Even the heatshrinks has many sizes. Can anyone share what size they use for which cable, especially the standard molex cables?

@inteluser,
I don't quite understand your question - are you asking about L-shape SATA cables or sleeving the SATA cable? Or if the cable itself can be L-shape instead of just the molex? Or is L a shape or SATA is a cable? Ok, sorry, I couldn't help that... anyway please rephrase your question so we can help.

lolz..
wut i mean is..
is there a L-shape sleeved sata cable avail.. ??
tq

ZipD,

dude, you mentioned to measure all the lengths and size before shopping for those sleeving kits..
my big Q is.. where to get custom lengths? normally i see sleeving kits comes in sets, as in ventec sleeving kits.... haven't come across something as you said earlier...

regards,
point blanc

Lots of sellers in LYN sell custom lengths. Go to Garage Sales/Bulk Sales for them.

For heatskrinks, you can get from eletronic shops. There's one in SS2 that sells TONS of it. I find that those shrink much better than Vantec/Vizo heatshrinks.

LOL! U finally found the shop. All sleeved d?

Not yet ler, you were right though, i need the 10mm heatshrinks. I didn't buy any today so I only managed to sleeve 2 cables. Tomolo going to buy the 10mm ones.

I tell u, dowan listen. I dont tell u, say I never tell u.

feel the experience

Im planning to mod my casing including sleeving all the cables inside (psu).There is one thing which may not be a nice view to see after all the sleeving and acrylic side panel mod..the wide,flat and long IDE cable..do anyone here know how to sleeve it or..can it be done???
