I've been thinking about sleeving the cables on my PC. But I have like ZERO knowledge about this.
I was looking around Ebay to see if they have any and I found these:

I have a Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid tower ATX case w/ a z87 ASROCK mobo + my PSU is a non modular Corsair CX750.
Most of the cables come from the PSU right?
So do I just replace those cables with these or are these extensions? o_O
And 30cm should be enough right?
Also ,are there any major cons in doing this? Maybe less efficiency or something?

Thanks.

Yes, all the cables connect to the extension, less effiiency? No, I have some (all black) sleeved extensions connected to my 7970, no problems so far.

the power supplys that are non moudular like yours those cables wont wont becuae you cant take the wires out of the power supply. in real live there are two ways to sleeve older power supplys. one is go to your local electrical supply wearshouse with a dead power supply with the same cables. ask them for blue nylon wire mesh. all you need to rember is to buy it a little larger then the connector and then slid it over the power plugs and onto the wires then you use a trywrap to lock in into place. the mesh comes in rolls. or you have to by a modular power supply and replace the cables.

Oh you're right, aww.
Well that sounds like a lot of work.
But if these are extensions then I wouldnt need to replace them right?
Cant I just plug the cables from the PSU to these extention cables, onto my components?
Sorry,really confuse haha.

Like I said, the sleeved cables are extensions, all you have to do is plug in your existing power supply cables in to the extender.

^ Oh yeah the ones on the first 2 links are extentions too,nvm.


Oh nvm, the ones I listed with links arent extensions,but the actual cables/cords.
I will look for the extension ones like these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/24pin-Sleeved-Extension-Cable-Single-Color-Choose-Your-Color-/161059761838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=460187244312&hash=item257fe8eeae

I now know I need
1x24 pin
4 + 4 8 pin
&
6+2 8 pin
