Just wondering what the pros and cons of each are. Looming looks alot easier and seems to take less time but it seems everyone sleeves instead. Just wondering! Thanks!
 
Go to autozone. They have some chrome-look loom. I've never seen any sleeving that could beat that.
 
Ahhhh. I guess I'll just sleeve then. Luckily for me my ATX came pre-sleeved ;)

(It's an Antec PSU True420 I belive.)

loom makes it look bulky and looks like yard work.. Do some UV sleeving or something..

Zero Wing just called, and they want their grammar back.
 
I belive it is unless both Newegg and Antec have lied to me :) Choose it for looks? Ha. That's why I choose my 9800XT :p

:D
 
Go with whatever works best for you. I chose wire loom, looks fine for me, and it went on quick and easy.
 
I think I'm going to grab a sleeving kit since it seems the easiest part's already done for me. Here's some pictures of how bad my wire managment is :-/

I used to have all my cables in wire loom, it makes it look much bulkier, almost always messier, and cheaper than even good managed regular cables. I recently decided to sleeve all of my wires. The difference is incredible. It moves easily, Looks nice and clean. Much more of a professional appearance and especially with my uv light, the glow is incredible.

About how long did it take you? Alot of people I've seen say it takes a solid 4-6 hours which just sounds crazy to me. Also, how can you get molex's off without using a remover (too cheap to buy one :) )?
 
I used a paperclip. I sleeved my entire enermax 450W which was around 6 wires,in about 3 hours. Less than that if anything, supper was stuck in there somewhere as well. 2 of the wires are rediculously long though and have extra connectors on them.
 
If you're already going tto have the PSU out of a case then it's no big deal to do, but it's a huge PITA to rip it all out just to sleeve it. I practiced on a cheaper one first. It looks great, but it took so long that I said, "fsck it, I'm not doing mine."
 
I am going to buy a new heatsink (the Thermalright SP-94) which requires you to take out your motherboard. I was thinking I might as well sleeve it when that's out.
