    Surely you could look up the specs of the PSU you're eyeing, get the wire lengths and do the math?
    Most SATA cables come in lengths between 1-2 feet.

    I just realized - too much talk, too few pics from me.

    For single wire psu sleeving or 3 pin fans, you want 1/8 inch sleeving. For the heatshrink, you can use 1/4 in.

    At last, someone else who makes their own! Thought I was the only one who did this tbh :rolleyes: Where'd you get your pins and crimper mate? The pins I get are a brassy colour, yours are nicer. And your crimper has a ratchet mechanism, mine doesn't :/

    He isn't the only one :rolleyes:

    Link for pretty pins and nice crimper here. If you buy the crimper you get 60 fan pins, 50 ATX male and 50 ATX female pins with it. I think that's nice value for hard-to-find stuff (at least in my part of the world).

    Ah another one! We're cropping up all over the place ;)

    Thanks for the link. I now feel really stupid. That should've been the first place for me to look, not molex.com :duh: I guess I need to spend some more time drooling browsing over at MDPC :thumb:

    I hate you guys.

    Summer project appears to be materializing as rewiring this entire PSU, which will no doubt cost me a ridiculous amount of money. You *******s.

    €100 is roughly what it cost me.

    More than worth it for the fantastic end result if you have the patience to do it right.

    sata power cable?

    question:

    are the pins in a modular psu connectors (the side that go into the psu) the same as regular pins? I have a Coolermaster M1000 and I want to re-build and sleeve the sata power cable. On that note does anyone know where I can get the wire for this? thanks!
