Need a *really* long 4-pin power extension...

[BoB-O TiVo]

Hey all,

I need to get a molex around to my Asus A8N-SLI's molex connector (by the PCIe slot). I want to keep things really neat, so I'll need a 30" 4-pin power extension. Anybody know someone who sells such a beast, or will I need to make one?

Thanks,
BoB

that would look too ghetto, he wants it pro looking probably, actualy i still have my ~2 foot extension i made, think i use it for my gt, been messing with the wires so much i foget what i have and dont have anymore, all i know is i got it nearly perfect

umm, cut, solder and then sleave it. no one will ever notice.

 

[ryuji]

at same rate he can do that and have it look pro without more then whats laying around for fan adapters and some wire. its exactly how i did mine

18 AWG aparently, bought this long ago because i was planning on replacing all my psus wires with them, whats the use when there hidden so well you dont see them tho.. back when i was on a uv stuff spree http://www.jab-tech.com/customer/product.php?productid=2257&cat=147&page=1

30" sounds sloppy, not neat. It would seem that you need an internal redesign.

I made one so i could route my fans wires behind the motherboard tray. It measures about 14 inches.

All the wires are hidden. To accomplish this, you must follow the contours of the case. Under the power supply, aplong the side case rail, down the back, over the exhaust fan, down to the card with a little slack to plug it in. It's more like 24", but I'd rather overshoot and tuck the excess above the power supply. I'll post a pic when I'm done.
