EVGA Develops Sleeved PCI-E Cable Adapters for Select Graphics Cards
EVGA developed a new accessory that could give the graphics card area a mean muscular look, without putting you through the grueling task of sleeving your PSU's cables. The Sleeved PCI-E Cable Adapter accessory by EVGA lets you extend the PCI-E cables of your PSU just enough that they could appear sleeved, when looked through the side-panel window. The contact between the adapter and your PSU's actual PCI-E power connectors can be tucked away behind the motherboard. Pictured below is an adapter that plugs in two 6-pin PCI-E connectors, and plugs out an 8-pin connector. For now, EVGA could bundle the accessory with select models of its graphics cards, it's likely that the part could make it to the accessories section of the EVGA online store, too.

If they keep doing that they will catch up with Apple.
This is clearly practise for sleeving cables before launching the NEX PSU SKU. They did say that they were doing things differently with NEX and they haven't shown the cables yet, indicating that there should be something special to it.
It does look nice tho.
...not my rig, but the look I am going for...
using a 24 Pin ATX, 8 Pin EPS, and had 4 6pin PCIe along side 2 fan extensions and 1 audio extension all sleeved sexy and ready to go, i cant complain did what i needed it to do
besides all this does is take 2 6 pins and makes and 8 pin whoop de do lulz :roll:
:banghead:
Now at the same time I have to say a nice cable management job like MeanBruce posted is still to my liking, that does look classy, and I'd probably have a window in the case to show that off.
Why isn't this trending on twitter?
:rolleyes:
The wire actually reminds me of some old shit back in the day which was many many moons ago and still looks ugly.
Would a nVidia fan actually plug red cables in to their lovely green team cards ?.
