So I want to have a go at making my own cables and I'm wondering if there's any all in one kits you can buy which include the tools for making along with the wire, para cord, connectors, pins and heat shrinks or do I have to go through the laborious process of sourcing everything separately ?

Or if anyone could source to me some decent tools & gear for doing it ?
 
Cheers for the info, guess I'll get searching for everything I need then but hold off buying until I get a new PSU

Is it possible to do DIY cabling for the Sata data connectors, I haven't found much on this apart from finding ready braided connectors ?
 
Nevermind just found some tips for Sata cables, seems like you can't create your own cable but instead have to just put the braiding over the boring plastic cable ?
 
You can make your own sata power cables but the only plugs that I can find are the Modsmart ones and they look terrible.

I'm talking about the actual data cable, seems to be the only thing you can't mod as a totally new design as all you can do is take the connector off and shorten length of the cable although to be honest looking at prices, they're dirt cheap even pre braided so may just skip modding those and get premade ones

Going to have to see if it's possible to mod my bitfenix recon too
