I used 30 for the last mod but it is too big. What size should I use and what stores sell it.

Would the really small telephone wires not work really well?

30AWG is standard; kynar is best if you're not doing modchip mods. otherwise you can use magnet wire.  if you want your wires to get through the TINY holes in the powerboard and mobo, use 32AWG
