Has anyone got a guide for which braid to use for what something along the lines of:

1/8 Braid = Fan Cables, Single PSU cables
ect ect

Also maybe what heatshrink to use would be good.

Cheers

I used 3mm braid for my individual wires, but I dont think theres much difference between that and the 4mm.

As for SATA cables I used 8mm and it was a nice snug fit, I'd of thought 10mm would be a bit... "saggy" haha? Also used some 8mm stuff for the CPU ATX power cables, could fit 4 wires in it easily :)
