How important are sleeved cables for a PSU?
BTW, why doesn't a $150 600w Seasonic have its cable sleeved?
 
It helps keep things organized and balances the airflow throughout the case. the seasonic has a tangled/spiral formation i believe. functions similar to the sleeved method, just not as eye catching.
 
I did my previous PSUs for the asthetics of it. But now I do it so that there is less clutter, and it really does help with the air flow. And some companies sleeve theirs, and others don't. It's really as simple as that.
 
I think that the ATX power cable should be sleeved at the very least, because even if the rest is modular or whatever, the power line is permanent. In fact, I think it should be REQUIRED in the next ATX spec.

sleeves are mostly for looks, organization, and presentation.

Sleeves have nothing to do with the transfer of electrical current...

Your computer runs fine whether it has sleeves or not..
