I think it's more easier for u 2 buy a rounded IDE cable than u sleeve it urself coz if u didn't dismantle those IDE connectors correctly will end up u spoiled ur cheapo IDE cable

i attempt before..... but end up fail...... better buy those rounded ide cable..... but still they wont have the same texture as sleeve

Upgrade to SATA!

I tried splicing the cable myself before. Didn't work out and ended up spoiling the cable. Its not easy unless you've got rock steady hands.

so,, better slow down first... saving money..

then upgrade to sata.. don do little little thing, coz u might end up regreting wut u already spent...

i got an idea..
get urself a striking paper/sticker..make sure the color is uv reactive one..
then u wrap it on ur ide cable.
im sure it will be nice under the uv light..

how that sound?

how to dao that aaa...?juz wrap the cable round izit??haha..bungkus..haiyo..wish ide cable can be sleeved..

u have to seperate the cables... like 3-4 parts.... ir will be easier for you to wrap it round

maybe could ask Uncle Ianho for some detail .. he has done if before ...

just pm him and hope he spare some times to share his secret...

actually by stating striking paper, i mean flourescent paper..
just buy a sticker and then wrap it on ur ide cable..see how it can be done..

now i understand..hehe should try it first..Thanx!!

why don't you try folding them?.. you still won't be able to sleeve them but at least they'll be neater..
