Next Guide: Cable Sleeving or LED Lighting?

Post by DAE_JA_VOO »

What's up guys.

I need to write the next guide for PCF (this will be the one published in the December PCF). I can't decide whether to make it a guide on LED lighting in a case or cable sleeving. I'm gearing towards cable sleeving (which i JUST thought about doing now) but i was planning on doing it on LED lighting.

Cable sleeving is just so much easier for n00b modders (no offense intended) which is why i'd prefer to do that.

What do you think?

LED lighting... You already did the basis with the DVD one - Thus they will be able to follow this LED one as well...

Cable sleeving is as easy as removing plugs and sleaving for a true beginner...

Hmmm, that's what i was thinking too, but then a guy over at the Prophecy forum asked me a few hours ago how to do cable sleeving :|

We all have to learn somewhere, and there are more people out there like him, i'm sure. This is why i was gearing towards the Sleeving guide.

Hmmmm.... i dunno now...

I think cable sleeving is a good idea. Alot of people go for that because it's cheap now. I mean they handed it out for free when I go my PSU a while ago.

And most people don't really know the proper method in doing it. A friend of mine just took the bigger sizes and put it over his connecters and fastened it with cable ties. :lol: Was quite interesting.

I did mine myself, can send you some pics if want for some examples for the article or something.

Cable Sleeving;

it is not as simple as it looks and it will help in saving a whole bunch of shrink wrap and sleeving if shown how to do it properly..

LED's = next issue.

Seems like the general opinion is also geared towards Sleeving. Alright, thanks guys, sleeving it is :) I'll make the January 2008 guide about LED lighting :)

PCFormat is a secular magazine, there is no reason why they should promote any particular religious holiday.

Christmas is about as religious as Valentines day these days....

:?

I vote for cable sleeving.
It would be most helpful to me personally, as there may come a time when I will want to sleeve some cables. I cant imagine ever getting the urge to add LED's to anything on my computer :D

Anyone who wants their case a little tidier will use your cable sleeving guide.
