What kind of CableMod cables are best?

[spicy little monkey]

... for a mini ITX computer? Some cable types are bulky and others are really thin which would be better...

Also does anyone have any general cable measurements for mini ITX cases?

Waste and money and you'll never see it.
Just get a Modular PSU so you can leave off any cables you wont need.

mod flex are paracord, they are thinner, and flexible, and mod mesh is nylon, they are thicker and less flexible (but look better in my mind - ive got some pics on my profile of modmesh to give you an idea on thickness, honestly, neither should make much difference to how much space you have available unles you are going super ultra tiny, in which case, you probably wont be showing off the cables in the first place so both would be a waste of cash.

a waste, probably, look pimp as all hell, if you take the time to train them to look nice, hell, yes, but as i said, depending how small they are going, they may not have the space for that so, , yeah it may be a total waste.

its also akin to rgb lights, only use them after you have everything else done well, a cheaper option is cable extensions.

Standard modular PSUs have cables that are too thick

So paracord is the best cable I'm guessing. The case I'm using is very small

Too thick for what? You will not see these cables, it's an ITX build, cmon... seriously.

Braided ones are even thicker then pretty much any modular PSU I've ever used or sold.

Get something like Corsair TXM or RMX

Which Case is going to be used?

Improper cable management will jeopardize airflow in the case. Corsair TXM and RXM PSUs are too big for the case.

Dan Cases A4 SFX (version 2) is the case. Only SFX-L and SFX PSUs are supported

That case is way too small, there is nothing you could ever do to have good airflow in such a case as that.

But yea just get an SFX modular PSU then. There are decent ones out there.

If you want something this small that will still have room and good airflow, look at
Cooler Master HAF Stacker 915F

"there is nothing you could ever do to have good airflow in such a case as that."

That is the biggest lie I've ever heard.

I am NOT changing my case. How many times will I tell you? I ask about cablemod cables and you deliberately change the topic. LEAVE.

he has a bit of a point :P, but yeah, going with modflex cables will be the most flexible and smaller option, not sure how much smaller they will be compared to your stock cables, but that sort of depends on which psu you are using, if your psu has its cables already bundled together as it were, you could cheap out a bit and simpl,y cut open the bulky sleeing (if they are grouped in a bundle under say a single nylon sleeve).

personally i went with the modmesh as they are bigger and look better, but, room isn't a premium in my super tower, good luck.

what point(s) does he have? The case I have has very good airflow, better than most cases currently out lol

I did do reading on Corsair SF600 stock cables and they aren't very flexible so this is why I need cablemod
