24 Pin extention?
I just picked up my new case and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to route the power around behind the motherboard tray with my current cable lenght. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could get a 24 pin power supply extention cable. I checked New Egg and Directron and neither seems to carry them.

Re: 24 Pin extention?
Antec 1200. I liked it's interior better than the Armour and it seems to be much more condusive to mounting the massive tripple radiator I'm wanting to go to.
I might just end up getting a new modular power supply as I'm going to need 4 6 pin power connectors if I ever want to Crossfire this card I've got (the Power Color 1G version of the 4870).
Maybe I can trade my old case and 600w PSU to someone for a 700-750 modular OCZ?

I bought a 24-pin power supply extention cable from Canada Computers. It still wasn't long enough. But adding a splice from
my Evercool GT365 gave me enough to do the job. It also keeps a couple of fans running for awhile once the system is turned off,
so there's no temperature spike on shutdown.

excellent resource for cables. no jacking shipping prices. I ordered cables on a Sunday night, had a live email in less than an hour that my order had been received. Monday morning, received an email that my order had shipped, with tracking information, then an hour later an email that my card was charged. Cables I received are the same as sold on the Egg, but I paid less and MUCH less for shipping.

Re: 24 Pin extention?
Speaking of cable rip offs, man am I glad I found MonoPrice! Saved me hundreds on my home theater installs thanks to thier low cost HDMI cables. I don't wanna use the word cheap cause they're damn fine quality, but less than a 10'th the price of Monster cables.

regular consumers (IE: people who wouldnt know video quality if you showed them an uncompressed HD video next to a regular 720p signal) who buy monster cables at best buy deserve to be shot in the knee IMO, then having all their disposible income taken away to prevent them from making more stupid purchases (no offense to anyone here of course
)
