I love the way you have looped two connections from the single power cable. How does that work? Do you have a larger rail devoted to one cable? My PSU has an 8 pin dedicated to VGA, with a six pin adapter, and then another six pin off another rail. I sure would rather just have one wire.

EDIT: WAIT a minute. Did you just sleeve two cables together to make it look smashingly good? Hell, I could do that

EDIT of the EDIT: On second look, it doesn't look like that's the right solution.

I haven't touched that cable :laugh:

Here's a better shot of it with a older setup of mine.

Well, decided to do some sleeving with the wonderful MDPC-X sleeving that don sent me. So I decided to re-do my front panel connectors. I had previously sleeved them but they came out horrible because of the cheap sleeve I was using. Different story now. The theme of the case and the project is black/red. I know there are blue led fans in there but that'll change by the time I finish it. :toast:

If you notice I still haven't finished off the red sleeves yet, I can't turn on the blow dryer at 1am and wake everyone up. :shadedshu

What do you guys think?

heky · Oct 11, 2010

Looks awesome CP. Wish i could buy this in my country, but sadly cant find it anywhere.

Btw, still waiting for my Advanced. I am getting really pis*ed off.

MDPC-X is on your side of the pond bro.

How long have you been waiting already?

heky · Oct 11, 2010

13 days. I gave them a ring today and they said it should be here on wednesday.

(FIH) The Don · Oct 11, 2010

Nils send to anywhere in the world i think, just throw him a mail, (owner of mdpc)

and that looks awesome David, sorry about that extension :shadedshu

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

Looks really nice

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Thanks guys. I'll have more pics once I finish them up today.

@don
I noticed that the black sleeve you sent me is smaller than the red. So I'll re-sleeve it in black for now. Ill just order some red when I have the chance. :toast:

JrRacinFan · Oct 11, 2010

heya d,

How much was that black sleeving? Is it difficult or just time consuming? I only will need to do my front panel leads.

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Shaun,

You can go on the MDPC-X site, they have different kits and such, this sleeve was sent to me at no cost

respect

.

It's a bit time consuming, once you get it right, it all comes together man. The outcome makes it all worth it! :rockout:

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

It certainly does look great! But is it really worth it considering the cost of the NZXT cables?

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

That is a good observation. The NZXT extensions are cheap and amazingly done. I'll tell you, the quality is awesome. However, I believe they only come in black though.

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

That is a problem, blue would be really cool. I've never actually seen one in person, but in the pictures I've seen they certainly look great. Always a cheap introduction to sleeving :rockout:

They have other colors now too.

NZXT 9.84" 8Pin Motherboard power extension cable ...

NZXT 11.81" Sleeved 3Pin fan extension cable Model...

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Oh wow!!!!! That's awesome!

However what they should do is do them in two colors, popular combinations like black/red, black/blur, etc.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2010

Maybe one day soon they will, who knows.

Here's a list of all their cables, and what colors those come in, etc.
