Name of Cable?

Are you referring to the sleeving (name?) or the companies that make them?
 
it's just cable sleeving. You can get it from most electronics and industrial catalogs.


check out McMaster-Carr (or similar) if you want to get some cheap.
 
Mod Right and Bitfenix also make single sleeved cables like the above. I've played around with some NZXT sleeved cables, and they are cheap feeling...stiff with average quality sleeving. The Bitfenix cables on the other hands feel very high quality, and use a textile material as opposed to plastic weave.
I have some Mod Right cables coming in....but until they do I can't comment on the quality.

Briefly browsing through the McMaster-Carr I'm guessing all I'd be getting was the sleeves? Tbh, I don't want to run the wires myself, I'd rather buy pre-made wires with the sleeves around them already. Electrical/wiring is definitely not my thing. I do appreciate the link to them though.

Bitfenix's stuff looks real good. That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Bad ConNecTioN.
 
yeah, you would only get the sleeves (and whatever kit to tidy the ends up)

Is your power supply modular? If so, you might be able to order some replacment cables that are already sleeved. Otherwise, you're probably probably going to be stuck buying a new unit (unless you feel like doing it yourself). A member here posted a really good guide to doing this a while back, although it doesn't seem like something for the faint of heart. IIRC, he un-soldered all of the cables, sleeved them and re-soldered them.

It looked really nice though.

I hate to shoot down anyone's recommendation when asking for support, and I really do appreciate and like what you gave me for future reference. I may try to do something like in the future.

My main rigs power supply is not modular. But that isn't a big deal as I'm not opposed to getting a modular. And actually I'd like to get one in the near future. Tearing a power supply down and working the wires yourself is a bit beyond me as this point. I'm still learning new things all the time building PC's and reading what everyone else is doing. So the option is out there.
 
There are a few guys on the EVGA forums that do an incredible job. Two I would recommend are {uZa} DOA

and martin, who even opened his own site/shop

looks like martin jacked his prices, so maybe not
