I'm going with a RED theme for the inside of my PC. I've got a red Abit NF7-S, a red video card, and I want everything else red too.

I've decided that I want to sleeve my PSU with red sleeving...anyone got any good ideas where I can get this stuff cheap? I like this kit from Vantec, but with shipping, its pricey.

Please posts some links. BTW, do you think a fabric store might have something like this?

Also, where can I get cheap, but good quality red, round, 18'', 3 way? (1 MB, 2 IDE) ATA 100/133 IDE cables...I need 2. Please post link.

Next thing...does anyone know the best/easiest way to remove the wires from the 20-pin MB connector for sleeving purposes.

Finally...I need some ideas on making a duct that will go from the front intake to the CPU HSF...hmm, maybe it should be red too. I will probably go to Home Depot to see what they've got.

Thanks for your help in advance.

For sleeves, try your local autozone, advanced auto or car proformance stores. not sure how cheep they are, but its worth a shot.

Also, they have vinyl dye there too. Check here (http://www.advanceautoparts.com/english/youcan/html/res/res20021101vd.html). It says its for seats, but I know a few people who have had luck using it on plastic.

Also, check out the modding forum here at OCForums.. Great resources there as well..

Good luck and have fun
