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??? drool.gif

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 brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif

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.
