@ste2425,

If you meant 'get the plugs off' I use http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/...OOL%20KIT.html.

Google it for a retailer.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=202639 Is what i used. The staple method works perfectly fine as long as you use the more industrial strength staples. (thicker and wider pops them off fine)

That tool is what I plan on buying for myself I don't think they cost that much to were you would take the chance on messing up the ends and have to go and get new one's.
Go here they have one for less then $5. This is where I plain on getting mine.

You don't have to take the plugs off. Most of them will fit through the braid. Even the 24pin mobo connector will but you have to put it through sideways.

Electrical tape would give that "heat-shrunk" look but I'd still toss a ziptie on that.

See it'll cram in there. And electrical tape doesn't look THAT bad.

To stop it from binding (shown) keep turning the braid as you slid it on.

You could get colored electrical tape and add color "accents".
