Well I think I can help a little...maybe we will see. Ok so the basics for connectors I suggest neutrik also depends on what termination you want but as far as I can tell they have for the price the most solid connectors. You can buy them here: http://www.redco.com/.
Ok cable. So for $100 I am not sure how long you are looking to make the cable but there are a million and a half different options. For the recable you will need a total of 4 wires, two for each side. Also take into account error and shrinkage when you braid it. Also for the wire you will probably 24awg or 26awg. Since silver is really expensive and a bit out of your price range I would go with silver plated copper or copper wire. You can find a couple different options here: http://www.plussoundaudio.com/diy/wires.html, http://btg-audio.webs.com/webstore.htm#ecwid:category=2620180&mode=category&offset=0&sort=normal, http://www.doublehelixcables.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4
out of those three btg is the best priced but the lowest purity copper, plussound has high purity but 26awg and all I can say about DHC is I have worked with their wire and it is fantastic. Out of the three I think that DHC is the highest quality but that being said it is also the most expensive.
On top of that if you need heat shrink or techflex you can find them here and here: http://stores.ebay.com/FURRYLETTERS http://stores.ebay.com/tubingexpress (I suggest not adhessive lined 3:1 heat shrink) both have every size, length and color you will ever need.
Also if you want nice solder you can find that here but any generic solder will work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARDAS-Quad-Eutectic-Solder-10-ft-length-/200879856591?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec55f5bcf
Hope this helps.
Need recommendation on recabling wires for my D2000. Budget is around $100.
