Sleeving over SATA Connector

I'm planning on getting an Antec True Power 480W Power Supply for my new system. I wanted to sleeve it, but from what I've read in different places, it has SATA connectors built in. I feel confident that can remove all the other connectors, though any tips are definately welcome, but I don't think you can take the SATA connectors off. And I doubt you could fit the sleeving over it, so what do I do? I'm thinking of just cutting it off, but I'm scared. :( So what would be your guys suggestion on how to solve this problem. I was thinking of having FrozenCPU.com do it for me, and let them struggle with that, but it's too much money. I don't need those connectors on there, because I'll get one with my mobo anyways, so what should I do?
 
if you want to keep the SATA connectors (which you should just incase u need them), you can cut the wires, put on the sleeve, strip part of the insulation and rewire them, wrap with electrical tape, then pull sleeve over it

i could have better replaced splicing with those instructions but i forgot exactly what splicing is... could be the cutting and/or reconnecting of wires ... me confused :confused:
 
I know what you mean, I want to replace my 430 with a TrueBlue 480 but the built in SATA connectors scare me, as I want to mod them with sleeving like I did with my 430. After reading the review on GruntVille they say you'll have to cut them off and resolder them to keep a clean look if your gonna sleeve them :(

Or I might not sleeve them at all, as my WD SATA drives have 4pin connectors which I only use over the new method, as I can just tie the SATA connectors to the bundle.
 
Or you could just use some sleeving that is a little too big and work it over the connectors. It wouldn't look absolutely perfect i spose, but you wouldn't have to cut anything either. No one would ever have to know . . .
