Hey guys! Before I get down to business, I'd just like to say that I'm new to the forums here. I've been an active member of the SLIzone forums, but they just aren't active enough in the section that I'm am looking for some help in. Okay, lets get to it.
I have an Antec 900 case. I have done a bit of work on cable management and it looks pretty nice, but I really just want to get all those extra wires I have out of there. My power supply is a Corsair 750watt. I will get some pics up in a bit so you can see a little bit of what I have done to it.
So I've been really considering cracking up the PSU and making my own custom cables for the rig. Really, I don't think it will cost all that much money. I only have one video card and one hard drive, and some fans that I'd like to make custom cables for. So I have a few questions that I need answered in order to get started, with which hopefully you guys can help out with.
1. Where do you think ordering all the part from for this project would be cheapest? I've been thinking about Performance-PCs.com. They have a good variety of things and the prices look pretty cheap.
2. What gauge wire are standard power supply cables? I'm pretty sure they are 18 gauge, but I don't want to rip of the sleeving just yet to figure that out.
3. What gauge are standard 3-pin fan cables? They are a bit smaller than the standard power supply cables I've noticed.
4. Knowing that I have just one graphics card and hard drive and an Antec 900 case. About how many feet of wiring do you think I will need? I will get those pics up later so you can see for yourself, it doesn't look like it should be too much cabling.
Well those are about my only questions now, might be some more to come. Any help you guys can contribute will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
