Tip for sleeving: Make sure you have some electrical tape arround, that way you can tape the pins so they will go through the sleeving a little better.
ALSO MAKE SURE TO PUT THE PINS BACK IN THE CORRECT HOLES ON THE CONNECTOR! BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DONT.
The black ones dont matter, but if you accidently swap the red and yellow, you will fry what ever device is plugged into it at the time. I've done it to two of my HDs. It Sucks.
Also a good dremel tool is the ultimate case moding tool.
Yeah, well im right without my de pinning tool im on a sorta tight budget (although it may not seem it)
Electrical tape, yes well Heatshrink is better but ill use that if i have to. My friend did and it sometimes unrolls at the end and looks crap so ill try to stink to the heatshrink.
I know about the pin holes im very carefull i practiced on a disused power supply out of my old server first and i mark them all when i take them out. When i de pin the ATX plug im going to get little sticky labels and stick them around each cord to number them.
