Nice and easy to follow.

But I'll still go out and buy those "expensive" pre-modded round cables. $2.00 a cable isn't expensive IMHO. Catch them on sale, and they're pretty cheap! My time is worth the money LOL

true - svc.com - jab-tech.com and tons of other places make it far to easy to be worth any effort to do it yourself.

here in Belgium, those cables are a bit more expensive.
the shop closest to my house sells them for 12â‚¬, that's more than 15$ for a short round cable Censored
