Looks good.
Bit time consuming but worth it if the cables looked shit to begin with.

True, but Bitfenix stuff is top notch.

MDPC beat BitFenix 
My X-650's cables bend just fine behind my motherboard tray and I don't have weird connectors. Must be the new series 
Looks good though mate!
I still need to get round to finishing my setup :/

MDPC-X is for people who like to do it themselves. LIke me.
But I don't like the fact that I have to mask the wires under the white sleeves to avoid color bleeding.

troll troll troll.
but seriously, it looks like you did a nice job.
sadly the layout of my motherboard and the case make cable management pretty much useless to even try, also.... why didn't you go with a modular PSU? it's easily worth it, especially if you care about how the computer looks on the inside.

I think that's the case for just about any white sleeving. At least from what I've seen from other brands as well. White just looks soooo slick though. |

Yeh, you got one of the older ones. Now it's 400, 460, 560, 660, 760.

I know but my bets it'd double the cost. ;\

I think I pointed out some where above that this IS a fully modular power supply. Only it comes with really bad cables, not the kind that can bend for easy cable management in some of the newer cases.

Heya, an update.
See, I sort of failed in this whole sleeved/extension cable thing...
I forgot I'd need to redo the extensions into female pins, get female connectors, do this do that ! Arrgghh 
So, I found some guy from overclock.net. His nick is 'Lutro0', cool guy does top notch custom jobs but.. he was too expensive for me. 
And then...something good happened...I don't really know how I skipped this site on google:
www.moddiy.com
Everybody, bookmark that shit ! 
Now, what this site does, is supply all those bits and pieces you need for your PC, including DIY sleeving kits. Among that, they offer specific cables for Seasonic X power supplies. They are a bit pricey but basic prices are rather cheap, eg, a 30cm 24-pin will cost around 20$ (consider it's specially made for this psu), I ordered a 60cm one and paid 40$. They also have a great deal now.. you can spend 50$ & get 10$ off or spend 100$ and get 25$ off (each order above 50$ you can pick a 'gift' item like 100 pcs of black zip ties). Basic shipping is 10$ but it can accumulate (as you add items) rather fast so ultimately it's more than that. I split my cart into two packages to save some $$$ on shipping. They also sell same cables but regular 24-to-24pin.
The 24-pin:
Also ordered 2 x PCIE cables:
Now what the site owners did is rather cool. They know these PSUs are powerful enough to run a GPU off ONE GPU socket so they made a cable that splits into TWO 6+2 cables. How awesome is that?  You don't have to use two sockets from the PSU unless it's something really hungry like a GTX580.
And lastly, EPS cable:
Also bought 2 units of proper pwm fans to go with the Kuhler, I'll probably get everything in another week or so, will post back then.
I may add a note on this site and why I think it really rocks...
I made about 10 inquiries before placing orders and their online chat thing was absolutely flawless, you get answers from real person (guy called Eric) and despite the fact this site is based in HK (sort of like DX) they speak good english and give back accurate answers. That's not something you get from most sites. After ordering, it took them one day to prepare the goods and ship it off. They also take custom requests and you can mix things up like having half black, half white sleeving, etc'. There's more value to it than buying extensions.
