OK guys
I am in the middle of a BitFenix Prodigy build, and I just bought a new PSU as my other one was massive. Downside now being cable length, and arrangement of connectors, so I have decided to make my own cables.
Now obviously I cannot link anything but I am using a US based modding company if that helps any.
So far my basket includes 18 AWG cables of 5 colours (well 4 2 ground/black). Some SATA EZ Crimp 90 degrees connectors.
Luckily all my peripheral connectors are SATA (all HDDs and ODD) so I can build one cable. I am looking at my Be quiet PSU end connectors and they look like ATX PSU 24 pin style pins, so I need some of those right? Does anyone know if I need pins for the SATA connectors too? It looks like you literally push the cable in and done, but cannot be certain.
Also I need 1 floppy connector and 1 more fan connector/splitter. Since I need a floppy power (for a SATA multiplier) I may aswell stick the front fan on there too. I'll make a very short separate cable for that though. The problem comes here from pins and such again. Can you advise me on what I need to buy. I'm buying a crimping tool with this.
Is there any guides anywhere to do this at all? Google isnt very helpful particularly. I've seen a few people make cables but its mostly in build logs and you lose track of those quickly. Plus the amount of pages gets too much to search through.
