Before i start this guide, let me just warn you: My method of sleeving requires you to remove the connectors from your cables, and if you don't put the connectors back on exactly how they were you will almost certainly cause the entire planet to explode, and i will not be held responsible for that. So any disasters that take place due to negligence while doing this mod are not my problem.

Alright, lets get to it then!

The first mistake most people make when sleeving their cables is that they leave their connectors on. This will not be the case if you follow my guide. In fact, we'll start at Step 1. So, grab your fine tip screw driver and stick it into the molex connector, between the plastic and the pin. See, the pins have little "wings" on them; these wings keep the pin inside the connector. You need to bend these wings inwards so that nothing keeps the pin in place. If your screwdriver is small enough, it'll be a piece of cake. Once you've done that, remove the berg connector pins as well. These are also very easy to remove, because they're also held in place by a berg connector. So just bend the little wing inwards and remove the connector.

Now the sleeving starts, so cut your sleeving to the right length. Now, before you sleeve the cable, i suggest you tape up the pins with masking tape or insulation tape, as they tend to hook onto the inside of your sleeving, causing a bit of damage.

Once you've taped up the pins, simply glied your sleeving over your cables. You want to get it as close to the PSU as you can. If you're feeling adventurous, open up your PSU and sleeve the cables all the way in. This will look a million times better and give the sleeving a more professional look, but it will also void your PSU's warranty. That's up to you! For this guide though, i didn't sleeve all the way into the PSU, as not everyone is as willing as i am to void warranties. I sleeved until just outside the PSU:

Next, cut a piece of heatshrink to the right length (you can determine this yourself) and push it over the cable until the PSU, like so:

Once that's done, grab mum's hair dryer and heat up the heatshrink. It'll shrink due to the heat (hence the name) and eventually it'll hold your sleeving in place at the end. Very nice!

Use the above sleeving method to sleeve any shorter pieces of wire between molexes:

Next up is the berg connector. I usually cut these buggers off because i have absolutely no use for them; i can't remember the last time i used a floppy drive. This, however, will void your warranty, so i left the berg connector on in this case.

Just for a bit of extra touch, put heatshrink on the tip of every cable, like this:

This is one of those things that take time, but just look so good in the end. By the way, remember to bend all the little "wings" back on all the molexes and berg pins before putting them back into the connectors.

How good does that look!

All done!

Next up, our 24 pin ATX connector. This is the big daddy. This is the one part that so many people screw up when sleeving their cables. Using the exact same method as before, remove the pins from the connector:

Before you do that, please just mark every single cable with masking tape and number them all so as to avoid plugging the wrong pin into the wrong place on the connector, causing the entire planet to explode.

Half way:

All done:

As before, tape up all the connectors so that the sleeving can glide over easily. Cut a piece of sleeving to the right length, and sleeve the cable:

Now, as we did with the berg connector, sleeve each wire's tips with heatshrink:

Just remember to put heatshrink (unshrunk) on BEFORE you put the connector back on, otherwise you're going to have to remove all the pins again after slapping yourself.

All you do now is get the sleeving positions properly, cover the end with heatshrink, heat it up, and voila!!

Here's your finished product:

And that's all there is to it!
