Custom Cable for Seasonic PSU

deFiniLoGy · 20 Apr 2013 at 14:34

I has a Seasonic X-1250, but the modular cable which comes with it are all black in color... which is quite dull...

I know Corsair have some colored cable sets for AX1200i but I would not imagine they will work for Seasonic X1250 would they?

Do anyone know where can I get some custom cables for the X-1250?

Maybe you could give this a go?

It's much cheaper.

Cable braiding tutorial.

All you need is paracord and heatshrink

i wouldnt say it was cheaper, but its a lot nicer...

the corsair ones wont work with seasonic.

www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk

Great place for paracord, I bought a couple of times from there, both times arrived in 2 days

Im going for the shrinkless braiding!

Of course its cheaper!

You can get 50 feet of paracord in any colour for about £2.50, and a metre of heatshrink tubing for about £1.50.

It's just a time related thing :rolleyes:

paracord is horrible though.

Alright Mr. fussy with the fancy (lovely orange and white - my god *swoon*) computer.

What do you use?

Something Else · 20 Apr 2013 at 17:21

nothing wrong with paracord as far as im concerned.

It's very cheap, easy to work with and has a nice tight weave.

It's easy to get, you dont have to wait till mdpc decides he wants your custom before buying, and there are countless colour options and even patterned ones

cant see the downside to it tbh

I had no trouble with paracord either. Just make sure you buy the american made nylon stuff not chinese PET. The only drawback to it is that it can "pick" and fray on sharp/rough edges.

This is heatshrinkless paracord that i just finished 2 days ago.

Akagi · 20 Apr 2013 at 18:48

What diameter paracord did you use kei? And where did you get it from?

Kei · 20 Apr 2013 at 19:58

550lb paracord from wildelk and the bushcraftstore. Diameter is about 4mm.

Anyone buying from MDPC?

can you do this on a non-modular power supply, i just did a dusting of my pc to make it look nicer and did "try" to hide some of the cable but.....braiding would look kinda...awesome

I think the "price" of sleeving include the time...
Might do it during the summer as I am a uni student
