24 Pin Power Cable Mod (Thanks Murderbox for the inspiration)
Usually its a pain to do these things but I figured I would do one showing how I mod a 24 pin cable for freaksavior..
He wants the wires sleeved in pairs about 6" from the end.
Here is a shot of them original
Some PS Mfgrs show a schematic of the wire order on their web sites. Ever since I figured my camera had a close up setting I like picts better
Now before you try this remember 1 mistake and POOF
Its very easy to mix up the wires, some PSs use multiple rails so for example on the yellow wires (12V)the wires may go to different locations on the PSs circuit board.
Here is a chart showing the order of the wiring

Now get a good pin remover tool, I found some good ones here

the pins are flat and fit on either side of each pin. Sometimes the plastic plug is tighter than others so you may have to wiggle the wire a bit to let the pins slide between the connector and the plastic housing
here is a shot showing the locking tabs on the female pin
