Project updates - PSU Sleeving

I thought this was going to be a relief from drilling and filing but i was so wrong! It might be satisfying to see the completed PSU being nicely sleeved but it certainly is no fun sleeving it!



This is not a "CAP AYAM" brand PSU. I'm not quite sure what the brand name is but definitely no "cap ayam". It's 400watt and meets the current requirements for ATX motherboards. It has a variety of cables which includes 6 molex connectors, 20+4 pin ATX connector, 4 pin motherboard connector, 2 sata power connectors, two 4-pin diskdrive connectors and one 6-pin graphics card connector. This PSU also features a very silent 120mm fan WHICH SUCKS AIR INTO THE PSU( according to izso, his PSU's fan blows air out instead of in).



The back of the PSU where the power cord connects to has hexagonal holes to improve air flow. As you can see the cables spread out pretty long, that is handy when you want to stealth your cables and need longer cables to do that.



I bought 4 sets of sleeving(UV yellow,UV red,UV green & UV orange) + a molex remover. I started off with the easier and unused cables(6-pin & 4-pin) and moved on to the molex connectors.



My supplier did not have any ATX size sleeving so i decided to redesign the way the ATX cable was compiled. There are 20 pins and i split them into 5 parts with 4-pins in each part. Precise labelling was needed to make sure you didn't get any pins into the wrong slots.



Here is the completed PSU after the sleeving process. I have color coded it. Green is for molex connectors, Yellow is for hardware related connectors, Red is for the 20-pin ATX connector and Orange are for fan cables.



Close-ups of the molex connectors and hardware connectors.



Close up of the 20-pin connector, as you can see i have cable tied the 5 parts together near the connector. I have an idea of shaping how the five cables will be bent when everything is put together, trying to create an effect of power flowing into the motherboard.
