Thanx a lot bro really appreciate it. Great unisleeving job and do take your time to sleeve the cables as those premium quality sleeves aren't cheap. Waiting to see sleeved sata cables next

Wow bro, sleeves very nicely done i must say!

Does the MurderMod ATX pin removal really work well on all type of plugs? even for the SilverStone 24pin ATX female section of the extension?

Nice work

If other brands can package their cables without the ferrite core, then I believe its fine to run yours without it too.
