So, I'm making some single sleeved cable extensions because well I enjoy it.. I was planing on selling these extensions cheap to EVGA members that may want them (just enough to cover my cost). My question is what colors would people think look good together.. Any input would be great!
It would be $80.00 bucks for a 24pin, 8pin, and up too 4 6 or 8pin GPU cables. Prices on single cables I  haven't figured out pricing yet... 
Besides the ones pictured I have white and black

    Can't go wrong with Black/Red, Black/Blue, Black/White and all Black that's for sure.
     
    UV Reactive Green looks great in any water cooled rig that uses Green Coolant :)
     
    If the Gigabyte X58A-OC wasn't a benching board, those Orange sleeve would look pretty darn nice, but no one uses cable extenstions on a test bench :/
     
    Perhaps the Light Blue/Dark Blue combo would be nice, I mean a lot of board are colored similar to that on the 1155 socket.
     
    The left most sleeve looks Gold, if it is inded Gold, I'd be interested in Black/Gold since I juste bought a Gigabyte P67A-UD7 and that would blend in with the color scheme perfectly.
     
    Hope these inputs can help you in any way,
    Cheers.

    I like the combo of colors which I use for my rig.. Black, red and white.. 
    "black 4/8, white 2/8, red 2/8" or "black 6/8, white 1/8, red 1/8"

    Can I get a picture of white, black, orange, and red together?

    If you were to make me an 8pin pci-e and a 6pin pci-e all black connector for the right price, I just may take you up on your offer! Haha. 
     
    Aside from that, I think black and gold enuqq said would be awesome! 

    Maybe some black/blue combos as well, black/red. 
     
    White also goes well with everything too, white/red, white/blue, white/black. 
     
    Those would be the most generalized combos that people would buy up for sure!

    Oohh.. Those are nice. I don't like the red on the left as much, but the top red and left red are good.
     
    I am really digging the black and orange.. Now if only I had an X58A-OC...
     
    Thanks for the pic!

    Here's blue and green (WIP)  Yeah I know the heat shrink looks like hell, but I have an idea for fixing of it.

    Sadly I have another request, can you get a shot of the red and orange with a classified board? I might really consider the orange if it looks good.

    White complements pretty much any color, so you could throw some of that in as well.

    It's an older Kodak Z760 that has taken 30,000+ pictures... I just need to buy a new one but, everytime I look at them I think well I could spend that $500.00 bucks on my PC.... lol Don't get me wrong for everyday use it works OK, it's just macro, low light, and closeup shots that show it's age..

    Hehe you should look into a new one. I want a 60D really bad, that would take amazing pics. Maybe a Rebel XS would suit you nicely.

    There is a guy here on the forums who does this as a side thing with MDPC-X Sleeving. May have seen him, goes by Martin here on the forums and even runs a website for it.
    Looking at how he runs his little shindig you should let the people pick the colors and how they want it to look.
    Stuff looks like 550 Cord. Is that what it is?

    Yes, I know Martin. Check his for sale thread and you will see I was the FIRST person ever to buy cables from him.. I'm not trying to make any money off these cables or start a business..Martins is in the cable sleeving business. I'm only trying to help out the EVGA community with something made of good quality and cheap prices.. Most people can't afford Martins cables this is just a cheaper alternative for us broke peeps.

    Wow that does look good.. I'll have to think about some of that.
     
    Would you be willing to send me a pack of it if needed? Probably red/white/black/orange. How much is it per foot?
