Goodie! Green light that is!
Now if only that 20-pin plug would be as easy to pluck out as the 24-pin was :(

Also, it's not going to be a high power rig but a VIA C7 board, total system running ~110watts max

Good stuff kenkickr!

Also, here's a valuable beginner's tip for all you PSU sleevers:
When you pry the connectors out of your ATX plug, stick them on a piece of tape, in the correct order. This just might save you a headful of frustration and puzzling...

And after a couple of hours of prying (blast that ol' 20 pin!) this one is done! Unfortunately it's also pretty much bedtime, so no time for beauty work...
Thanks again MKmods for confirming the possibility!

I'll do you one last post of wisdom before I really hit the pillows :D:
- When you stick them on tape, don't go tossing around with it, you WILL mess it up... (I'm glad I didn't need that pinout anymore)
- If you don't have a hyper pro connector jiggle'n'pry tool, use a bent staple or a watchmakers screwdriver for instance. Any bigger tools make those female connectors HELL to pry loose.

Tomorrows schedule: work, testing the PSU, hopefully some aluminum sawing or maybe some cable tidying on this machine. My little case is getting there, step by step!

Now I'm left with 16 20cm cables and a male+female 20-pin connector. I just might use those someday.

OH! I know what I might do with those cables and connectors! I'm thinking of making a "modular" connection system for the molex connectors I need to use. Just putting it out in text so I remember :D

Finally got to testing, and my trusty old 10-euro PSU still works after all I made it go through :D
Though my modular system might not happen as the pins are different from the molex pins. I'm considering whether or not to take up soldering them.

I should have ordered more cause I want to sleeve all the way from the ATX connection to the PSU and I don't think 25' is going to be enought, I know it's not going to be enough but in the mean time I'm going to do the PCI-E connections and the ESP connection.

agreed, same with heat shrink . . .


not to mention waste from the occasional goof-ups. If you have one avaialable, a heat-gun or very high-powered hair-dryer is much better for setting heatshrink than a lighter . . . at least when you're using nylon sleeving (although it takes a little longer for a heat-gun to work). It's very easy to melt the sleeving by accident.

So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get this single tool to remove the connector off the 4pin floppy/3pin fans. It looks like this


I had a whole set but lost just that one tool
If anyone has an extra one or knows where i can buy that single tool please let me know. I dont want to buy another whole set again.

Removing those is dead easy with a small screwdriver.
Just push down and then twist down, like the image I just made for you :D

Here is my effort in 24pin sleeving madness.



Good work from all who have done it because I know just how tedious it is to do.

1/8" sleeving with 7mm 2:1 heatshrink. I was a bit nervous on the first boot up because it is 24 chances to get one of them wrong and blow up your board. If you take your time and be methodical it is not very difficult, just time consuming.

Actually, each wire could go into 23 wrong sockets, so that would be 23x24= 552 wrong patterns... Or maybe that's totally wrong, but ehrm yeah...:wtf:

Point is, you have to be methodical about it :D

I still need to find some wire wrap as I'm kind of fed up with removing the pins on the 24 plug again.
I also lack good sleeving material though, I'm probable going with a "cover it up so you won't see it" method :p
