I unfortunately don't have any build pictures of the cables' construction. First off, it obviously really helps if you have a modular PSU. Mine was, with the exception of the mobo cables. My next build will be fully modular, because I'm not totally happy with how the 24-pin looks at the base. I used this guide and this guide for tips and help buying my supplies.
frozencpu.com ships from Rochester, NY. They are great.
Lutro0-Customs.com is also in the states (apparently in a merger at the moment but a new store will be open tomorrow) I learned the most from there and purchased a good Pin removal tool from them and quality sleeving. frozencpu also carries most of Lutro's products.
Amazon.com also carries the tools.
I know your in Canada but I hope this may still help you.
Actually I didnt really buy any kind of kit, just found some paracord I liked and bought it. also I purchase this mod kit being that I could not find a place that sells the tool individually and because Im a amazon prime member =D But the included pin removal tool was worth the price. Made my life a hell of a lot easier. Thanks for the tips though
Well, I don't think there are really that many specialized tools the average user would need. I guess if you want to do some minor modifications or sleeve your psu, you would really benefit from some specialty tools. Generally speaking, I think nearly everyone would benefit from:
total: $15.60
It goes without saying that you should also have a Phillips screwdriver, but who doesn't have one of those around anyway? Of course, there are some extras you might want if you're messing with your psu cables (like if you're sleeving them or whatever), installed and reinstalling coolers, I don't know. It is all stuff I've used with my PC at one time or another.
total: $48.61
I don't know why you'd really want that ultra-mega-deluxe $49 kit I put together, unless you're certain you will be modding your pc. If you want to be all hardcore you could get a soldering iron just for your pc, but I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you already have experience. Seriously though, everyone should get some cable ties and compressed air.
Would any of these work for you?
