Can anyone think of any place local that would sell sleeving for wires?
I'm thinking of like a Lowes, Home Depot, ACE, something like that.
I checked Wal-Mart and they had the heat shrink tubing, but no sleeves.
I know plenty of places to find it online but I would rather just go buy it in store, I'm sick of shipping stuff at this point.
 
In the past I have heard people say they have found it at "craft" type stores...

I checked my local ones which include AC Moore and Michaels with no success. I admit I didn't ask anyone, but I did pretty much check almost aisle to aisle. This is in PA, maybe you'll have better luck?

Maybe a hobby store? I also have seen some Audio/Video integrators use it, however it is much larger...like multiple power cords and video cables in one sleeve.
 
I work at Home Depot, and they have both split sleeves and spiral sleeves in the electrical section

Great! Is what you carry something you would recommend to someone that planned on using it for a computer build? If so I'll run down and pick some up, and with a huge thanks to you.
 
Can usually find that stuff at auto parts stores as well. Especially the ones that cater to ricer custom car buffs.

Yep, all you guys who have a MicroCenter nearby are lucky. I live in Spokane, WA, and the only thing we had was CompUSA, and they are only open for 2 more days here.
The only other electronics stores are BBuy and CCity. There are a few small computer shops here, but they're the type of shops that sell massively overpriced Athlon S754s with a Radeon X600 for like $800 and say its a good deal, they're behind the times and overpiced.

So that is why I'm looking at hardware stores or as another poster just mentioned, maybe a car shop, but in Spokane I highly doubt there are any high end tuner shops.
