The braiding isn't hard, but then again I have done a fair bit. As long as your happy with taking connectors apart and threading the braid on then heat shrinking cables in the right place it is fine.

I get mine from MDPC, cant beat their quality.

10m of it is 5.95 Euros. That did half of my cables and I had extensions, so that means I needed less. To fully braid everything you need around 30m of braid. On top of that is SATA sleeveing and remember you need the tool to remove the pins.
