Psu sleeving

I have a 350W Sparkle power psu with a lot of wires hanging around looking ugly. I was thinking about sleeving it, but didn't know what width or how much to get. Would 1/4 inch sleeves be wide enough? I know its good for most wires, but there's one fat one that plugs in at the top of my motherboard which I'm not sure will fit (I guess it's called the atx connector). Also, how many feet do you guys recommend I get?

Thanx

I just bought this it comes with everything you need, including the heat shrink tubeing for the finishing touches, you will also need a molex pin extractor to fit the sleeving over the molexes even though it will expand its still not enough, svc also sells the molex pin extracor which i didnt order with the sleeving thinking i didnt need it but ys doo need it, it will be here monday if you want to wait i can show you what it looks like after its done.

I got 10' of loom, and about used it all, its also 1/4" loom and it barely fit the thick bundle of ATX wires in it, but it worked and it looks good.

I have a question about the molex pin extractor. When you push the top part, do 3 little fingers come out of the bottom? Cause I have something like that already.

thanx


Hmm. im looking at pictures of it and i think my question is completely off.

ok yeah, i am

Im not quite shure how the molex extractor works, as its still being shipped here. But i think i fits over the pin then pushes the locking pins in a little so it can be taken off.
