When I responded to the recent wire sleeving post, I got an a huge amount of PM's about it. So if this post is in violation ADMIN's please let me know!

WIRE SLEEVING 101

#1 Here is all the stuff you need to complete you job, now keep in mind this is just for a standard SATA cable. If you are wanting to do this to your power supply, it will take a few extra tools, and it is also a little more complex. OK first you will need a pair of good scissors, a micro torch or heat gun, and a phillips head screwdriver "optional". You will also need the supplys to get the job done. That will be colored sleeving correct size. The heat shrink tubing which is about double the size of the part which you want it to be tight around.

#2 Go ahead and measure out your sleeving to the cable or wire that you want to wrap. Cut about and inch short "1/2 inch on each side", this will give you good room for the cable to flex.

#3 Use you pinky finger or optional screwdriver and expand the end so that you slip the cable into one side.

#4 Start to feed the end of the cable or wire in to the end of the sleeving, be sure that you do not make the end frey to much or it will mess it all up, this might take a couple of trys to get right.

#5 This is the fun part. Take both hands and push the tubing together so that the inner coils will expand and allow you to slide the cable through.

#6 After you get the first part into the sleeving, the rest will become easy. Go ahead and finish running the cable all the way through the sleeving.

#7 This is what you should get if you have done all these steps so far correctly.

#8 Now take your scissors and VERY CAREFULLY clean up the ends that may have a little frey to them.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2813/85fa.jpg[/IMG]

#9 Go ahead and measure out your heatshrink tubing, i like to leave about an inch to an inch and a half to give good room for the cable to look good and not have any more freys.

Posted by: turboFX55

#10 Now cut the tubing and then measure out a second piece the same size unless you want different sizes then just make sure you have enough to cover and part of the sleeving that had freys.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5046/109vn.jpg[/IMG]

#11 Open up the end of the heat shrink and make sure that it will go over the end of the cable or the wire with out having to put stress on it, so that it wont cause any rip or damage.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3816/113mr.jpg[/IMG]

#12 Feed the tubing over the end and make sure that you tuck any freys into the tubing as well, if you do not it will cause the sleeving to frey more, and mess everything up.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2410/128em.jpg[/IMG]

#13 When you feed it the tubing on the cable, get it to the point where you want or makes it look good.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1651/132gd.jpg[/IMG]

#14 Now take you heat gun or micro torch and do quick passes over the heat shrink so that it starts to shrink in place. DONT stay in one place to long or you will burn the tubing, sleeving, and maybe your cable.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4338/161ap.jpg[/IMG]

#15 This is what the cable should look like when all done, make sure that you turn the heat gun or micro torch off, so that you dont burn any thing down.
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2718/172am.jpg[/IMG]

#16 There you go all finished, you are now one cable closer to getting you rig to look AWSOME!!!
[IMG]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2635/183aw.jpg[/IMG]

Now you can do this to many different types of devices. some take more work then others, like the fan in this picture. But when said and done, you will be the proud owner of a super nice looking rig!

If I missed anything PM me and I will fix it, also if you need any help or have questions about any kind of case modding, I am very good in any kind of lexan or plexiglass!



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

Thats a nice guide. I like the idea of the fan. I think im gonna do that. Will a mini blow torch do?



Posted by: turboFX55

yeah just be very carefull not to burn the tubing or sleeving



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

Ok im out of fuel, how bout a lighter?



Posted by: turboFX55

that too will work but it will take longer



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

Ive got time lol. And its the only availible resource ATM.



Posted by: Powerslave

Nice guide, I'll be sure to use it.



Posted by: thebleakness

Thats very good. Im going to be doing this when i go to clean up the wires in my comp.



Posted by: turboFX55

Here soon i will also add to this for Power Supplys



Posted by: ferris

Yeah, great guide and Ill use it when I get more money to buy some wire management supplies.



Posted by: mike4realz

i think u can also use a blow dryer for shrinkin those heatshrink tubes



Posted by: beardo526

Pretty sweet... I think it should be stickied. (Also maybe a warning for dial-up users should be added to the topic because of the amount of pictures.)



Posted by: plumber4578

great idea. really looks nice. where's a good place to pick these up at?

Better be a very hot blow dryer. It takes a good amount of heat to shrink the tubing.



Posted by: Lonewolf5460

nice guide good info man.



Posted by: ITZBVAN005

sweet *** guide



Posted by: ferris

Yeah, don't use a blow dryer, takes way too long. We did it for atleast 5-8 minutes and it only shrunk a little but.

how much are mini blow torches?? i've got 10 feet of sleeving :D :D, will a soddering iron work?



Posted by: digima$ter

That's a lot of info! Thanks anyway! I will have to do that anytime soon.



Posted by: turboFX55

[QUOTE]how much are mini blow torches?? i've got 10 feet of sleeving , will a soddering iron work?[/QUOTE]

No that will not do, you can get a mini torch for like 15-20 buck, at least you can use lighters



Posted by: ferris

Lighters take a while also, I would say spend the $15-$20 for the blow torch and save for future use, of course.



Posted by: turboFX55

ANYBODY KNOW WHAT ELSE I SHOULD POST ON HOW TOO'S? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

[QUOTE]Yeah, don't use a blow dryer, takes way too long. We did it for atleast 5-8 minutes and it only shrunk a little but.[/QUOTE] Not to sound like a *** but i got mine from the salon and its SUPER hot. I have only used it on low until i used it on the shrink and it worked fine:D



Posted by: turboFX55

Thats funny, I guess if the blow dryer gets hot enough, it makes it like a heat gun, so great use that sucker!



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

It was better than using the lighter cause i didnt want to burn it.



Posted by: turboFX55

lmao, i knew it!



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

Well i figured i had the time to do it so i just waited w/ it. It actualy didnt take that long but the air in the diningroom got real hot fast haha.



Posted by: turboFX55

A+ for thought, did it just get too hot?



Posted by: ferris

Well, we tried it with Noga's wire sleeving and it took way to long and resorted to using a lighter real quick but that took too long, so we're going to have to get a mini blow torch.



Posted by: sbcirclepants

turbo, good guide, however i just completly applied "wire management" to my computer, and i tried that "green cobra stuff" as my dad called it, and it was a pita.....i suppose it might work on fan wires, but on the mobo 12v 4 pin conector wires u havta use "wire loom" wich is plastic stuff with a slit on the side to slip wires into. All u need 8' of 1/2 in. and 8' of 3/8 in. tubing, and about 80 4" zip strip, ties, watever u wanna call them :p [url]http://www.xoxide.com/wireloom.html[/url] i got mine at a local hardware store for .30c-.36c a foot :)
so a complete job only cost me under $10 :) i will post pics if any 1 wantsta see'em :)



Posted by: thebleakness

I was going to go out and buy some of that wire loom. That stuff is nice to have around when doing electronics. Id like to see how you utilized them sbcirclepants.



Posted by: turboFX55

[QUOTE]i suppose it might work on fan wires, but on the mobo 12v 4 pin conector wires u havta use "wire loom" wich is plastic stuff with a slit on the side to slip wires into.[/QUOTE]

no you can use this as well, all you need is the set of molex extactors "pin remover" and you can take all the plugs off i.e. 24 pin main, 4 and 8 pin secondary, 4 pin molex, 4 pin floppy, 6 pin aux, 3 pin fan, etc, ALL OF IT can be done using my method, and i will have pics soon on here on how to do it to your power supply, and more. I HATE loom, that #$@% is a pain in the %^$ to work with and it looks like crap. I cant resist the look of sleeving with shrinktubing! looks so good!



Posted by: P.P. Mguire

Yea it got pretty hot but i still did it. It was like an oven. Im grateful i dont have central hearing or else it would have been super hot. My dining room is actualy kinda small and using the dryer on high like that really heated the air up quick. Still though, i didnt burn anything or shrink it to fast :D[QUOTE]A+ for thought, did it just get too hot?[/QUOTE]



Posted by: sbcirclepants

lol...........my psu came with the mobo 24pinner already sleaved, i cant imagine removeing all them wires and putting theme back in lol if u screwed up, u would have a toasted system lol......btw, its a piece of cake to use loom once u get used to it, and its cheaper and faster, and looks fine imo.......bleakness, whered pzerofgh say that lol @@
Qoute (-----) btw, how much are these "pin extractors u have? i seen them for 10$ apiece (i done my complete sleeving job under $10 :)



Posted by: turboFX55

i do not like loom, looks too much like plastic tubing, i like the way sleeving looks because you can still see the wires and also all my sleeving is UV, and i got all my extractors 4 total and tons of sleeving from a local store for 15 bucks.



Posted by: sbcirclepants

oh, ok i guess if u can get it local, it would be ok, but that isnt a option for me :/



Posted by: KCRMYZ

Excellent guide but picture #10 looks like your cutting the cable :P



Posted by: turboFX55

yeah it looks funny but no cable cutting there!



Posted by: scottjames84

love the guide :)

might try your method for the Sata ect but for the rest of the connectors :( bit time consuming lol.



Posted by: DBD

Nice guide TurboFX55:D

I did some wire management using the split loom, It looks much nicer than it did before and has better airflow, But I am not happy with it:(

I was thinking of buying this [url]http://www.xoxide.com/vawislkituvg.html[/url] Because it says it expands 150% and fits over any connector.
What do you guys think?



Posted by: turboFX55

[QUOTE]I was thinking of buying this [url]http://www.xoxide.com/vawislkituvg.html[/url] Because it says it expands 150% and fits over any connector. [/QUOTE]

DBD that is the same stuff i am using in the guide! so great, and it is very easy, as you can see from my guide!



Posted by: DBD

:oO' man I should have realized:o

Will it go over the 20/24 pin mobo connector without taking the pins out?



Posted by: turboFX55

negitive, the only plugs you can squeeze that kit over are sata, fan, 4 pin power. the rest you will need to take off.



Posted by: DBD

Thank TurboFX55:D

When I take my 20 pin connector and bend the wires so the 20pin connector is parallel with the wires, It is about the same width as the 4 pin power plug. I believe you when you say the sleeve won't fit over it, But I'm gunna try:eek:

O.K. I ordered the kit and 2 green fans with 4 UV leds in each one. Do you think The 8 UV leds will be enough UV light to make the sleeve kit glow?:cool:



Posted by: turboFX55

those UV leds SUCK, i had a few of them and they did not do crap, you should get a cold cathode uv tube, much better!

Wont the blowdryers electricity damage some stuff in the pc.



Posted by: turboFX55

not at all, there is no direct circuit from the blow dryer to the computer componets

YA, I had the UV tubes in my cart, But I was 50 bucks over budget so I had to sadly edit my cart to my budget:p

I meant to say THANKS to your guide, I ordered the kit:D



Posted by: Lynch Hung

Thanks alot for this. Will be doing it for my new PC. Hopefully.



Posted by: wakeboarder.cwb

now does this just make the inside of the case look clean or is their some kind of advantage to doing this besides looks



Posted by: NathanM

This is just awesome. Excellent work on the guide. You've influenced me to probably do this in my spare time after I get my PC built for the cool factor!



Posted by: Bilbotubbins

wakeboarder.cwb the tubing allows the air to flow better as the wires take up less space



Posted by: filocardhustler

Could you perhaps post a tutorial where connectors need to be removed as well (maybe a 20 or 24 pin motherboard connector). Will a hair dryer work to contract the heatshrink?



Posted by: DBD

Hey turboFX55, I got the big sleeve to fit over my 20 pin connector:D I had to cut off the plastic tabs/lips off the sides of the connector(not the clip) basically I cleaned up the sharp edges with some scissors, Then I tucked 4 of the wires under the clip on the side of the connector and folded/wrapped/smashed the remaining 16 wires on the same side as the clip, running them all perpendicular with the connector. Then I put tape on it so the sleeving didn't catch on the clip. It took some time to figure all this out but with this knowledge it can be done in 10 Min's:D

The kit I used
[url]http://www.xoxide.com/vawislkituvg.html[/url]



Posted by: DBD

filocardhustler, I dont think a hairdryer will work.



Posted by: chevytrucknut

It has already been talked about, and if the hairdryer is hot enough, it will work. But then again, it might take some time...



Posted by: turboFX55

DBD can you post a pic of your work, i am curious how it came out, i tried to get it over a 24 pin but that was hard, all of the other connectors you can do, but the problenm is getting the right size shrink to get on as well.

[SIZE=3]Soon for the rest of you, I am working on a power supply sleeving guide, this is a bit more complex in the making so give me a little time and i will have it out! and thx to all of you that are using my guide![/SIZE]

I also have done a little work on my case here in the past week or so when i have had the time, click on my sig and you can see what some of the stuff you can do, now keep in mind that this is not complete, not by a long shot, but it will be soon i hope.



Posted by: DBD

I can use my extra PSU to make a mini guide of "how to sleeve your 20 pin connector" (for your guide), if you want. It should work on a 24 pin, but I haven't tried it.

When I'm all done modding my PC I will make a new post of it with pics. I should be done in about week:D

I like your chair, I have a similar chair, but It's not leather, I put some wheels on mine, so It's taller and rolls:p I highly recommend wheels:cool:



Posted by: turboFX55

yeah i love that chair, dont need wheels though, it is very light. i guess that guide would be cool, ill have you email me the pic if thats cool, when i get my normal psu done I will put it in there with them so it will be one big thread, i need to talk to an admin to see if they will allow html in a thread, then i can post java and make it really cool and not take a a bunch of space on a page.



Posted by: DBD

Ya....Sounds like a plan.

I'll try to get it done tomorrow. I'm not sure what java or html is:confused: Maybe you could fill me in:D



Posted by: turboFX55

DBD, here is what i am talking about, inorder for me to put in a thread they need to unlock html in thread posts, i think i if i put this on here it would be awsome and would be a little more 56ker friendly. this is a test it only has 7 pics from the guide but it can be increased.

O.K......I took the pictures, How do I Email them to you?:o



Posted by: DBD

turboFX55 where did you go???



Posted by: turboFX55

what you mean, i sent you a PM with my info.



Posted by: Fireheart

Awesome guide - I cant wait for the power supply guide! :D



Posted by: GuitarFreak1857

what thickness is the sleeving?because i found that 1/4 sleeving is not reactive at all :(.



Posted by: turboFX55

which sleeve, the kit I use has 5 different sizes.



Posted by: tmaxxracer111

nice



Posted by: Seeds225

turboFX55 does one Vantec Wire Sleeving Kit provide enough to cover about every wire? Or should I get 2 kits? Because I'm gonna do a Clear acrylic case so I need to cover about every wire.



Posted by: turboFX55

buy 2, i have found that one will work but it starts to run out and if you can get more heat shrink tubing, that is what they give the least of.



Posted by: neweyedeya18

wagner heat gun (for paint removal @ walmart for 20 bucks) works good, anyone want to suggest a molex pin remover?

EDIT: i pulled apart my case last night and after 20 minutes of trying to thread my molex connectors through the wires i gave up. then read there is a remover for the connectors wtf!? haha kind of discouraged thought it would take about 2 hrs to do the whole case ... not the case. Also found that shrink tubing didnt shrink as small as it needed to, to stay snug on the wires but after doing my 2 hd wires (i think sata anyways the same one as the picture of turbofx...) they came out pretty good, the post your wire management thread was inspiring but after attempting at this rather discouraging... haha



Posted by: Seeds225

What plugs does the Vantec Kit not fit over?



Posted by: FunkMaster66

Nice guide



Posted by: turboFX55

well if its your first attempt, it is a bit hard, my sata cables are the best i think, as for the rest or the case you need some tools LIKE PIN EXTRACTORS to remove the molex plugs for the main cables of the power supply, as soon as i get all the pictures done of mine then i will redo the guide. also rule of thumb for heat shrink is, it shrinks to about 50% of the stock width. that is why i did the sata cables in the guide to give people a chance to do it on something easy, also another thing that is easy is the fan wires that connect to the mobo via 3 pin connector, there small enough to work with and easy to get the pins out using an x-acto knife if needed.



Posted by: C1!m@t3

Nice guide, I'm planning on using it soon :D



Posted by: ryanlopez4550

very nice... i tried to use my DFI sleeving stuff that came with my MOBO but it didnt come with any shrink wrap!

sleeving is sooooo worth the time and effort



Posted by: cyrax

How do you sleeve the cables that come out of the PSU?



Posted by: Yoad

He said so a couple of times you'll have to use a pin extractor to take them out, or you gotta get a modular PSU lol

nice guide... im gonna sleeve my future rig.. :)



Posted by: cyrax

Can you sleeve the power cables while they're still attached to the PSU?



Posted by: duayne.com

yeah i think you can, but it wil be a bit more complex... :)

I done my old psu's 20 pin without taking it off,You just have to fold the wire's the right way and the sleeving will slip right on.



Posted by: duayne.com

what if i cut the wires of the molex, then sleeve it, then solder it back and put electric tape. that would do the job right? but is it commendable to do?

and if i want to add some length to the molex adapters, what wire should i get? do i still have to use color coded wires (yellow, black, black, red) or speaker wires would do?

thanks..

it was just a thought though. :D but theoretically speaking, it would work. but its not a good idea. :)



Posted by: Shumway

I was just joking anyway's :) Half my wire's in the case are extended,Got sick of all those bulky extension's and Y splitter's so i said screw it and grabbed my cutter's and my Iron and went to work :D



Posted by: turboFX55

if you plan to have electrical tape within 10 feet of your computer, you should be nutered and have any and all electronics takin out of your house for that thought.



Posted by: Yoad

hey turbo :D did you decide if you can do the thing I asked you to? And if so, hows it going XD?



Posted by: turboFX55

yeah buyt it will take me a little while to get it done, i work 7 days a week, but i will try my best to get it done as fast as i can.



Posted by: GuitarFreak1857

hey turbo, idk if this was suggested in the thread or not. but, you should melt the ends of the sleeving, it wont come apart at the ends. :D just thought that would help.



Posted by: turboFX55

good suggestion, but it is not that easy, if you melt before you put it on the cables, it does not expand very easy when going on over the cables, and that could cause problems, and if you melt after it is on, then you risk burning some of the wires, and i do not see a reason to do it, because you are heat shrinking over them to keep them all together anyways, but any how good suggestion.



Posted by: massacreinfallx

wouldnt colored electrical tape do? lol



Posted by: cyrax

Trust me, sleeving looks alot better.

I don't think it's a good idea to melt the sleeving either. I didn't do it, but I burnt some of the individual plastic strands, and they just burn up.



Posted by: IF06

*awaiting for the psu sleeving guides* that's what I'm most interested in, all the other eeasily removable cables are as said easy to sleeve but i've never used a molex remover thingyabob so yah *continues to wait*



Posted by: turboFX55

im waiting to get my 2 vantec stealth 520a's back from rma, then we will have a sleeving fest!!



Posted by: IF06

You can find one online guide on it but i forgot what site...just search up

psu sleeving guide and you'll find some guy who did it with yellow sleeves...i used yahoo

SRY turbo...i mean it might be fun to make a guide but I just thought maybe saving you some time ... you can still put one though

i think the main aspect of sleeving it is by just removing the pin with a molex remover though, though keeping it in order is sorta hard



Posted by: turboFX55

i started one, but my psu that i started needs to be rma'ed, so i am rmaing 2 of them, and once i get them back, i am gonna do a guide that includes both of them, nothing against other people, but i have not found a guide as good as mine. i.e. pictures.



Posted by: IF06

he had pictures but the esssential thing was that he gave methods of how to remove the pins, but your guide is much more welcomed in this forum cus atleast it belongs in our forum lol



Posted by: IrishNinjaX

erm.. what the heck is the point of sleeving your cables



Posted by: harry18

its a mod, has the same point as any other asthetic modification, and it bundles the wires to aid cooling



Posted by: Fastvan67

This guide is Way Cool! Out comes the loom from my system and in goes the sleeves.



Posted by: Reaver

Dont know if anyone has tried this stuff before [URL=http://www.frozencpu.com/products/3749/slv-48/FrozenCPU_EZ-Sleeve_Cable_Sleeve_-_UV_BLUE.html?tl=g35c177s375]EZ-Sleeve[/URL] . It comes by the foot, is UV reactive, and all you have to do is twist it around your cables. No heat shrinking required. Did my system up with it, looks great, I will post some pics if anyone wants. (May be a few days before I get my camera back.)



Posted by: Biomechanical

I don't really like the idea of the spiral look in my wires tho. Reminds me of an old phone cord.



Posted by: Reaver

this is what the finished product looks like:

Hey TurboFX55, did you ever finish making that guide?



Posted by: turboFX55

is still in works as of the p/s part of the guide, i have just been busy with work, i bairly have time to check my email.

but it will get done.



Posted by: hickfarm

I might beat you to it turbo. J/k

But i am going to sleeve my cables this weekend. I will post a before and after picture to show how much it will look.



Posted by: pak_cik_man

Thanks for the advice



Posted by: steveasorus

where can i get those green things?



Posted by: turboFX55

What Green Things?

If you mean the heat shrink tubing or sleeving, you can get it on [url]http://www.frozencpu.com/[/url]



Posted by: steveasorus

Yeah both green things, the tubing and sleeving, can i get them at a hard ware store?

Most local computer shop's carry the sleeving kit's pretty cheap.

Awesome Guide. Helped me out tremendously!!!!
I'll post some pics once the PC is done.
