| 416232 | 2005-12-28 06:07:00 | Hi, Very simple one... I want to tidy up my new pc...and would like to replace the power cables with nice ones. (eg. ones that are looking like they are sleeved and in uv reactive colours or something) Not keen on doing cable sleeving myself as I think the result may not look as flash...? The cables I'm refering to are just the ones with 4 pins or so and have molex plugs on the end (i think) Is there a name for the cables I'm refering to? There are about 15 or so in my pc...Thanks! Any opions on the cables I am looking for? :thumbs: |

| 416234 | 2005-12-28 06:59:00 | The cables you are talking about (I assume by your description) are just the ordinary power cables from the PSU. AS for tidying them up, I'm not 100% sure, but you could look around sites such as overclockers.co.nz etc. I would say the ones you have seen are from a manufacturer who deals in modding hardware such as IDE cables, psu cables etc |

| 416235 | 2005-12-28 07:07:00 | You cannot replace the actual power supply cables themselves, but you can encase them in a cabling sleeve made of coloured (and/or UV reactive) woven material. You can put several cables into one sleeve etc. Examples of the cabling sleeves can be found here (www.overclockers.co.nz). Not sure how easy they are to get on, or whether it takes a few goes to get it looking nice. |

Not sure how easy they are to get on, or whether it takes a few goes to get it looking nice. They have instructions. There are the normal sleeving and the UV sleeving. Or if you don't want to bother OCNZ has several PSUs available with various types of sleeving. |

| 416237 | 2005-12-28 20:48:00 | I think he may be referring to a modular PSU... the ones that you can select how many cable you need base on the devices you need to power. You cannot buy the cables sepaeratley though... you will have to buy the entire modular PSU. And as stated before Overclckers NZ (http://www.overclockers.co.nz) is a good place to start. I could only find 2 PSU's that appear to modular... 1) Antec NeoPower 480W PSU # Advanced Cable Management allows you to use only the cables you need # Dual +12V rails, ATX12V v2.0 compliance # PCI Express power connector # Temperature-response system # 120mm fan delivers whisper-quiet cooling # Gold plated connectors for superior conductivity # SATA ready 2) X-Connect 500W - Black The X-Connect power supply is the first in the world to have a fully modular configuration - delivers 500 Watts of Ultra-reliable energy and eliminates cable clutter. X-Connect's molded cable core allows you to connect only the cables you need. Each cable is UV reactive, made of the highest quality shielded material, and has undergone the most rigorous testing in the industry. Note: The X-Connect PSU is not compatible with Lian Li V1000/V2000, CM Wavemaster or other cases that have an enclosed area around the PSU cheers chiefnz |
