Would brading your power cables...

Tab · 21-May-03, 03:39 PM

Be gay? I figured out how to take them out of their molex connectors but, would it look kinda gay

V4mpiro · 21-May-03, 03:45 PM

THe only way to find out is to do it. Does any one know where to get little adapters that go on your hand rounded cables taht take them up to the molex connecter size. All of the comercially rounded cables have em, but i want some to add to my braided ones.

Ben · 21-May-03, 03:46 PM

I would say thats milidly gay, unless its for organizational purposes.

FeRaL · 21-May-03, 04:03 PM

Only problem you might run into is that when you start to braid the cables they will get shorter...

hawklen · 21-May-03, 04:36 PM

And your rig might want to play barbie dream date instead of half-life2 or something like that, just like Fu3lman...

Sorry, had to add a cheap shot to fu3l.

ANd I agree with feral, you wires will get shorter. So dont do it if you have a full tower case

I saw a link recently and I'll be damned if I can find it again. A dude did some extreme braiding on his PSU cable in order to take up the slack and make the interior neater. It looked pretty good.

He used that square braid style.

Twizted · 21-May-03, 07:00 PM

Something like this?

Ben · 21-May-03, 07:03 PM

Oh, I as thinking differently. Yeah, thats cool.

Tab · 21-May-03, 07:22 PM

Trying to do it with a paper clip, not fun. How much does the tool cost and where can I get it?

carbongraphite · 21-May-03, 07:56 PM

its called a pin pusher. you can get it at electronic component stores or good computer stores.
dont use gay as a deragatory term its just like calling certain people certain words.

neotheducky · 21-May-03, 08:00 PM

Yeah... It's soooo homosexual...

BigAkita · 21-May-03, 08:54 PM

That's the one Twizted. That took a couple of beers to finish.

HoJo · 21-May-03, 09:00 PM

That looks pretty good.

godzilla451 · 21-May-03, 09:25 PM

braiding SOUNDS gay, but it looks good in the pics!

scapegoat · 21-May-03, 09:46 PM

damn i defintly like the look of that

looks like it would probably take a whole Case BA

not to be a copy cat, but i think ill try that on my next PSU....

SirDavisCarrots · 21-May-03, 10:03 PM

braiding is simple

BigAkita · 21-May-03, 10:33 PM

Yeah, Goat...that would be a way to kill a rainy afternoon. I might give it a crack also.

Twizted · 22-May-03, 01:01 AM

Just so you know (forgot to say it) but I didnt do that... I just happend to have kept the pics and when I seen this I uploaded to my FTP

... Just wanted to make sure those of you who may have not known

ZENNZZO · 22-May-03, 01:37 AM

For a "pin-pusher" some broken antenna lenghts of the correct size and duct tape works mint... as for cable ends try some of that "tool dip". Tape the ends of the connectors then dip and dry... works good and looks good too.Lotsa colors too.
