Made to order & replacement kits
  • Pexon PCs - these do look good, but these are most expensive option
  • CableMod kits - ruled out for compatibility reasons, almost as expensive as made to order (albeit made to order would be a more basic set)
Are there any other made to order options to consider? I'm making a guess that there won't be anything significantly better or significantly cheaper than Pexon? Are there any other replacement kits like CableMod for Seasonic PSUs?

Purchase tools and make own sleeved cables
It looks as though it would cost more to purchase good quality tools and materials that it would to buy custom cables, am I wrong? Obviously the upside would be being able to make new cables any time in future, but I don't believe in buying cheap tools and if I can't achieve results that are as good/nearly as good as professional made it would feel like a waste anyway.

Cable extensions
The cheapest option, but there will be issues with routing all the excess cable in a compact case. I see options from:
  • Bitfenix (Alchemy)
  • Silverstone
  • NZXT
  • Akasa (Flexa)
Has anyone compared Silverstone to Bitfenix? From the few reviews I can find it seems as though the Bitfenix cables might be the nicest: easiest to flex, no heatshrink showing etc. but the Silverstone look very similar and a couple of the customer reviews on OCUK say the Silverstone cables are as good or better than Bitfenix.

Are there any other brands to consider?​
 
Why has my thread been moved!?

*cables are not power supplies*

*custom and modding are not power supplies*

I put this general so would be seen and answered by a broad range of people who might have relevant experience to speak from. This sub forum gets minimal traffic and the chances of someone visiting unless they are looking for PSUs or asking about a PSU problem is minimal.

The thread is going to be of limited use now it's been moved here :(
