One last thing that we need to take care of, the cables.

The question is who will need cables, and how many of them.
Since sourcing them usually takes 2 weeks from order to delivery, it's the good time for you to order (from me or someone else, as you wish)

My home made cables are using 1.5mm² copper wires.
according to tables, 16AWG is 1.31mm², 15AWG is 1.65mm²

Price will be
2.5$ for 24"/60cm
3.5$ for 32"/90cm

I can also source cables with 16AWG aluminium wires, the price should be 0.6-0.8$ cheaper than the copper ones.

For those of you who'd want to make the cables or add a connector to existing cables, I'm also able to provide the crimp pins and 6 pins connectors at a fair price:
0.20$ the 6 pins connector, and 0.04$ the crimp pin


Yes, I'll take some cables as well. Since there will be 22 PCIe connections per board, I'll start with enough for 2 PSU's (44 cables); 22 24" AND 22 32" / copper 1.55mm²

I might make the next set myself since I would like to learn, but so many different 6 pin molex connectors. It will take me a while to figure out which parts are the right ones. Seems like there are pitch differences and probably others. I have a lot to learn :-)
