Braiding?

Basically looking to buy some braiding when I get watercooling.

However, theres various different types

2.5mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm

I'm going to be braiding;

3 SATA Cables (standard ones that came with mobo, no idea length atm)
24 pin ATX power cable
4 pin CPU power cable
~8 fan cables
2 PCIe power cables

So basically, how much metres of each will I need (i'm assuming for example fan and PSU cables will be different size in mm)

Also how much heatshrink?

Thanks.

Was looking for approx number, but main point in thread was to see what the 2.5mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm is used for

As I have no idea which is used for the pcie, fan, psu, sata, etc.

Yeah I was looking but its like £5-10 per pre-braided cable, wheere as it's like £0.5 per metre of braiding cable

You've only really got to make sure you put them back on properly

I'd just have the full cable set out, take out 1 at a time and remember which side each were at

Apart from sata cables, pre-braided would cost me £47 (6 fans on rad, 2x 6pin pcie, 4pin atx12v, 24pin atx)

So wonder how much it would cost to DIY

Yeah, so if its a lot cheaper to DIY would be worth getting to know how to do it
