So I have a new case on the way and want to get some bits ready to go. How much para cord am I going to need to sleeve my power supply? I don't want to get 100ft and end up with most of it left!! Thanks! -J
If you look on the website of your psu manufacturer, or at reviews of your psu, they very often have the length of the cables on there.
I was hoping to draw on the vast experience of bit tech for a rough answer. I understand the idea of measuring and multiplying by the number of wires, but just a rough, "get 50ft/100ft or you'll run out" answer was what I was after. Thanks for playing. Anyone with experience and a rough idea? -J
God you're a lazy ****. It's probably taken you more time to write these 2 posts and no one would be able to give you an answer because: a) you haven't said what PSU you have and cable length will vary between 30-60cm and could double the length required. b) Only you know how many separate cables of each type you'll be using. Why don't you do yourself a favour and pull your head out your arse.
For those who are interested 50ft will be a bit short. Atx cable could easily use up 12m, once you add the other wires in it will go over 50ft -J
You have a point Crapman, jazzyj could have helped by giving us some more info, but that is unacceptable behaviour. Have a week off.
And jazzzyi: you have answered your own question. You think that 100ft will be too much, but you know that 50ft will not be enough. The_Crapman made a valid suggestion on determining cable length. Your reply to him is not helpful either. If you want people to help you, play nice.
Thanks krikket and next, I thought it would be a quick answer really. I have done a bit of looking elsewhere and found out that 50ft won't be enough. I'm going with 100ft and see how it goes. It comes in 50ft bundles you see. I think the length is deceptive. I will report back when I get it done! -J
So I got 100 Ft, its done all the extra wires other than the ATX wire and there is lots left. So, in short I would recomment 100ft for a full rig. -J
