The lighter is gonna burn your sleeving. Just get a heat gun, they are at most $25. Also BitFenix has some excellent single sleeve cables, although they don't come in the colors I'm looking for generally. SS is the way to go.
I always half-ass mine and stretch them over the plastic tips.. Ive gotten good at it though. I have removed a few tips but find it not worth the hassle in most cases (the mobo power for example would take way to long and be risky to do this method to.
@InverseBlue my apevia 680w beast power came pre-sleeved in blue, and i know you can get em in green and red, even uv reactive. ya just gotta look..took me like 2 secs on google to find em..
good video xoxide! i hide all my wires behind the motherboard tray so you dont see any of my wires, but im going to sleeve them anyways :D thankd for the tutorial.
Never put the zip ties on, they look hideous and aren't needed.
It's a good idea to but the heat shrink as close to the connector as reasonably possible.
You can usually use a hairdryer on the heat shrink instead of a lighter. It may take a few moments longer, but it's a lot easier and safer.
Don't put the sleeving into the lighters flame. Placing it near the flame will melt it and avoid ugly burns.

I prefer to do each individual cable, it looks alot more professional. This though a good way to learn still looks like a 12 year old kid did it LOL.
