Hi,
I just want to show you guys how easy it is to sleeve your fans.. The look is worht it IMO. 
First of all you need the proper tools. 
A pair scissors

A lighter

Some heatshrink at proper size
 
 
Some sleeve

 
Now it begins.
Remove the connecter by pressing a tool like this into the "3 holes".
Then pull out the 3 wires.
Now cut a piece of sleeve and 2 pieces of heatshrink.
Loosen the wires from the fan (not cut them, just remove the clip/lock-thing) and pull the 3 wires. 
It looks like this.. (pic is too big to post here) this is the clip to remove.. 
 
Now lead the 3 wires through the sleeve and then lead the sleeved wires through 2 pieces of heatshrink. Before heating the heatshrink it is important to lead the cable through the hole in the fan again.. just as it was before.. I should look like this

 
Now it is time for heating the heatshrink at the end closest to the fan. Then put the clip back on. 

 
Now put back the connector.. dont forget to mount them in the same order as before.. In my case it was black-red-yellow.
Now stretch the sleeve as much as possible and heat the heatshrink while keeping the sleeve in place.. it ends up looking like this.

 
The final result

 
Now repeat

 
I love the look..

 
I hope you enjoyed watching.. 
If you have any comments or ideas feel free to post.

am i missing something? when i look at that link i see needle-nose pliers, can they be used to get the pins/wires out of the connector?
 
i was under the impression that you needed one of those little specialty tools like the ones sunbeam sells.
 
Also thank you for this i am planning on doing some fan sleeving soon.

how did you shove the sleeved wires back into the little slot i tried it and it turns out bad

Kinda surprised no1 has replied yet 2 this.  It's not simple, in fact you have to be rather careful.  It gets easier as you do more of them, but it still gets frustrating if you're not patient.  U may even have to use needle-nose pliers or something, but you'll get it right if you do so carefully.  Probably best to wait until you have it snaked through before putting on the heat-shrink at the connector end, that way there's less chance of frustration and screwing it up.

Nice tutorial! I have a question. Where would you recommend buying sleeving and heat shrink for doing this? I know there is MDPC-X, but I've heard they are pretty expensive.

Great job. Where did you get the sleeving? FrozenCPU?

Thanks now that i look at them.... yeah the wires all over are pretty bad

@ Nils is a great guy and will bend over backwards to help you and has the best sleveing around hands down.  There are You Tube videos and and a tutorial
