Installation

So the Light Blue just happened to almost perfectly match the blue feet on the In Win D-Frame Mini. I didn’t originally plan on using the kit on that build but once I saw how close the color was I just had to put it to use. With our PC already built I set out to installed the Sleeving Kit. The first step is unwrapping the sleeving and sliding it over the two tubes. This only took 30 seconds at most to do both.

From there I had to get the clips installed. You have two tubes and four total clips so you get eight matching pieces. You get the sleeving set to have just a small gap at the ends then you slip on one clip with the thickest part down. Getting the second clip on wasn’t as easy though. In fact, I ended up having to grab a small screwdriver to kind of pry on one area. The clip both goes over and under the other clip at the same time so if those don’t line up it doesn’t snap into place. I wasn't able to get any of them completely without a tool. That said even with the difficulty here the install was still very easy. I think I spent a total of 5 minutes getting it all together. I would suggest that you make sure to line up the “flap” on the back of your tubing for the cleanest look before getting the clips on.

The only issue I ran into as far as quality goes was on the left tube below. I don’t remember seeing these spots before, but after the install, they showed up. They were hidden because of the bend in the tube and it is possible they were there from the pressure of the bend as well. But it is worth pointing out that they did happen.

So here is what it all looked like once installed. The AIO that was blending into the background now stands out on the black background while also matching the case. Depending on your build you could use these as an accent or to match it all together. Of course, there aren’t that many colors available. They did hit the big ones, though I think the light green needs hit a few more times. A good orange would be nice, but I’m bias on that one and a darker blue would be good for most other blue-themed builds.

Went looking for these and was amazed after reading your review of all the negative feedback these got. Seems they QC on this is a bit lacking, people hate the clips and the material will not allow a cutdown if to long.

Yeah, those clips are a huge pain. I can see how some people would have more trouble with them. As for cutting the sleeving, move sleeving kindof falls apart if you don't cut and melt it back together at the same time. I think that is why they don't just offer one universal size.

If you end up getting some, would love to see pictures
