[sdiy] question about cables

My question was for internal cabling, sorry about that.

For patch cabels i'm going with AS cables, I figure they don't sell crap 
:p  : http://www.analoguesystems.co.uk/buynow.htm

It's just that I have no cable at all for the inside and was wondering 
what you guys have in your workshop, colours etc...

Do you solder the internal cabling directly in the hole of a print ? I 
was thinking of soldering in one of those little pins so I can turn the 
wire around it and put some solder on it.
I had problems in the past with wire snapping of when you solder them 
directly in the hole...

thx a lot.
