Crysis, can you offer a loadout (with links) of where you're getting your connectors, tools, and such? I know you've said before that you get your sleeving and heatshrink from MDPC, but where do you get the rest of your materials at? Thanks!

Would anyone be interested if I revamped this guide with new pics, links to my suggested places to purchase materials/tools, clearer format, etc.? I may be able to find time to do so this week; but again, only if there is interest.  Please let me know, Martin

Martin,
I love'd the first guide. It made me want to sleeve my rig so bad, but time and money have eluded me. Maybe a new guide would inspire me once again!

Nice tutorial. In the End I saw you put a big piece heat shrink around everything. Is that really necessarily?

i see this guide is for extensions.... would be the same process for the cables attached directly into the power supply?

I just bought a Corsair AX1200, and I really do not like the ribbon cables. I would like to make some round cables instead.
Can anyone link me to replacement connectors for the PSU mating ends?

Think they are just 6 pin connectors. See the following link and compare them to your cables (I don't have any cables with me right now.) http://www.frozencpu.com/..._Connectors-Page1.html

From what I can ascertain looking at the images, the ones from FrozenCPU are keyed differently. And, there are eight pin, a ten pin and a fourteen pin connector.  If anyone knows who the connector manufacturer is, and what they name the connector style, I might be able to search the manufacturers catalog? EDIT: I believe they are manufactured by Weli Sheng Terminal (WST) and are P#-I42002 series connectors. Now, I need to find a retailer (U.S.A.), anyone?

Ah.. looks like those are different. I know on my Corsair 850W, the PCI-E, molex, and SATA are just 6/8 pin PCI-E plugs.  Image Source: http://www.jonnyguru.com/...;op=Story&reid=153

Blizzie,
Yes, it appears Corsiar changed the connectors to ones that are unavailable (unless I want to buy a minimum of 1,000 from the manufacturer).
In fact, I find that most of the cables with my AX1200 are too short if I want to do good cable management and hide them in my Tt Xaser VI.
I emailed Corsair to see if I could get longer cables, but they said no, I should buy extensions.

Artucas, why not just make new cables but use the existing connectors? It will work fine.

Crys1s,
I would, except I might want to sell the unit someday, and I believe I would prefer to include the original cables, which would mean disassembling my custom cables and reassembling the OEM cables. That could be a major PITA!
Anyway, I (hopefully) may have a lead on obtaining the connectors.
