Where to buy 4/6/8/24 pin ATX/EPS connectors in the UK

[squirrl]

Hey, i'm looking to make my own custom sleeved cables from scratch as i'm not happy with the current ones i have made from pre-made cables, but i can;t seem to find where to buy all of the male and female plastic connectors for the ends of the cables. Does anyone know where to find them? I'm getting the rest of the stuff from nils and just looking for the wire to use (need 50-60m of it) does anyone know which wire to specifically look for? (UK wiring rather than US)

 

Thanks

Not sure but is there a problem to buy it from the US?

I highly recommend having a look at Lutro0's shop. You'll find everything

you need there, and the corresponding FAQ can be found here.

I've ordered a few times from him, and shipping to Switzerland has always

been fast and affordable, I imagine it shouldn't be worse for the UK.

Also, the wiring you'll need is either 18 AWG or 16 AWG, that's what's

almost exclusively used in PCs (for some smaller stuff you occasionally

encounter 20 AWG or 22 AWG, for example fan cables).

EDIT:

You can use other wire, as long as it can carry around the same amount

of current as the AWG ones. You will need to look up the corresponding

specifications though. But even in our metric country we still use AWG

wires for our PSUs (usually, anyway).

You can also find the AWG wires at Lutro0's shop, FYI.

Seems decent, but i would prefer UK based. How long does it usually take to get to Switzerland? First class is apparently between 15-30 days. which is quite long to wait.

Ah, after some more looking around i've managed to find some  http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk google wasn't much help there

The two orders I've had were about 10 days from shipping to arrival. Then again,

I'm a patient man, 30 days or longer is still quite tolerable for me if it means

getting exactly the right parts (W/C gear manufacturers are often rather horrible

at this, I think I waited about two months for my second Raystorm block because

XSPC's production runs didn't line up with my order).

http://lutro0-customs.com/products/copy-of-550-paracord-neon-orange-25-feet dont like this?

That's about the right colour, but i'd prefer to try out the plastic sleeve. The problem with paracord is that it gets quite dirty the more you handle it and is hard to clean off afterwards (the current sleeving that i have is paracord) I've already bought some from MDPCX though so it better be worth it

Let me know if it is because i'm choosing between a few for my next build

will do

[whatthe_fuzz]

I suggest Lutro0's

It's truly the best sleeving ive used.

There's a couple companies I recommend but with Lutro0 I would almost go as far as to GURANTEE a pleasant experience and receive the best possible product.

If you need faster shipping im sure you can contact him and ask.

Seriously, best business transaction I've ever had

Those are the main ones I use for all my needs. Good prices and pretty decent quality.

 

There is always Ebay as well of course.
