Thanks for the info. Been away from my PC for a couple days.
I am going to try to address everyone's comments in this one reply.

I can get the sleaving to fit over it but the heat shrink won't.

This way you won't have to regret it later on....  |
I have no value for the warranty. I have already cut off all the power wires and added Molex connectors so I won't have any extra wires in it I won't need. but still b able to plug back in any of the power connectors if i need them down the road.

your right, there isn't that much room to do it.

I eventually came to the same conclusion. I left enough wire there 2" - 3" remaining and wrapped it up in electrical tape to guarantee no shorts.
Thanks for the feedback. really appreciate it
