Trust eBay cables?

[AT0MAC]

I dont trust my own skills in sleeving cables, I can mod a lot of things but cabling im pretty bad at.

Im working on how to rebuild my system and have gotten into a bit of a jam, I would like to make it real pretty this time around as its usually just very plain.

 

One of the things I want is sleeved cable combed cables.

I have figured out that because Im using a Lian Li PC-V33 case with kind of a basement underneath the motherboard, I only need to focus and make the board side pretty - therefor use extensions.

 

I live in Denmark and here we dont really have anywere to turn to for great cable sleeving, I would love cable mod cables but wow they cost, even  when I have a 20% voucher....

 

 

Would you trust power cables bought of eBay??

 

I dont know if there is any problem in that, its just a piece of wire, but if its a bad piece of wire it will compromise the whole build.

I dont talk about the looks, because they look just fine, but more the amp/voltage/current aspect, anything to re-consider and should i just go for the cable mod option even when it costs 5x more?

What country do you live? Here, in the UK, there are cable extensions from Shakmods that are pretty cheap. I paid about £40 for an 8-pin EPS, an 8-pin PCI-e and a 24-pin EPS sleeved extensions.

 

EDIT: Noticed you're from Denmark. Look up Shakmods on ebay.co.uk

@CableMod! Have you checked if they'll deliver to you?

Yes I have looked them up the ebay underlined in my question is a link to them in ebay, so how is the quality of their cables? I wish they were a little longer, like the ones on cable mod is 45cm for 8 pins, the shakmods are only 30, my case is a strange box so 45cm would fit much nicer, specially for the EPS plug

yes they do, but its $ 141.60 before shipping for the cables I need extensions for, if I want the nicest looking ones from cable mod. i dont see any point on buying their non pro version, if something like shakmod is just as good for way less the price

I would try the Shakmods then. Please leave a review for them on this forum for others to link to.

Sorry, I didn't click the link as I didn't see it. The quality is quite good. They look very clean and come with two cable combs that make them look better.

well I found out that Phanteks make a pretty neat kit that have just the bare minimum of 4 cables I would need, the EPS cable, 2 PCIe 8 pin and the mb cable.

when I looked at Phanteks I also ended up ordering some Halos Lux frames for the front fans, I already have ML120 fans and dont want to switch those out

 

its ordered, along with some pretty sweet aluminium cable combs - yes they cost more than I like to pay, but they look rad! plastic ones are so 2017 and all this will be assembled in 2018 so have to step it up

 

...now when I was on ebay anyway, also ordered some cable tie mounts, neoprene rubber for the edges of holes I have to make for the cables in the case, bamboo veneer (wait and see), Shakmods cables for power/leds front panel extensions. All I need now is some white/black sata cables and all ordering should be done.

 

 

Thanks for the discussions
