Cable braiding - Some help with sizes/types/tips etc.

samedi 25 avril 2015

Hey guys (and gal's) with more and more rumors and "leaks" arriving for the new Intel Skylake chips and of course the 980Ti (or AMD 390X if it ever finally gets a release) due out some time this year I'm starting to plan my next build and I'd like, this time, to go for some custom braided cables over the ones you can buy.

I plan on buying this stuff over the next few months as I'd also like to replace my loop with an acrylic set and I already know that's going to set me back about £200 on tubing, fitments, fitting kits etc. Also please bear in mind I'm in the UK and I have found that sometimes we don't quite get the same selection of goods as abroad.

Now my questions to my fellow Guru's are these:

  1. What brand/type of cable braid would you recommend and does it matter?
  2. What sizes would I need for a standard system? (Sata, USB, Motherboard, PCI-E, Power/Reset headers etc.) I've seen a variety of sizes and I'm not too sure.
  3. Heat shrink, again what sizes or brands would be the best fit for doing the parts mentioned above?
  4. Are the removal tools worth buying or can I get away with something from the toolbox?
  5. Tips - Anything I should be aware of, problems, easy mistakes I could avoid or things that can make it look that much better
  6. Oh and I nearly forgot, where can you get those clear cable supports I've seen on peoples builds. The ones that usually hold the Motherboard cable square.
Cheers all for any help you can provide as I'm looking to really out do my self this time and get something as worthy as some of the rig's here :nerd:.

Oh and colour choice for this will be Blue/SkyBlue/Grey/Black(or white).
