The purists will tell you modular cables take away from the rails. That's why the most common cables are sometimes hard-wires into the PSU when the rest is still modular.

The fact that if you have any kind of pin connection, it won't be as good (ie: there will be loss) as a soldered wire connection from point A to point B. A 24-pin header will have some loss on the mobo side, and if that cable is modular, there will be some more loss on the PSU side. Adding in an extension creates another point for loss, etc.

This is very difficult to compensate for as every link would be slightly different. The way to reduce this would be by putting some liquid or gel like substance of hi-electrical conductivity between the links. Kinda like you do when you seat a hsf on a CPU. Although you can;t do this with a PSU's connectors as if any of the conductive material leaks 'pop' goes your PSU. Granted the resistance and voltage drop wouldn't be huge, but it would still be there, and if any of the connectors get bent or dust and dirt or even oxidation then the resistance goes up dropping the output voltage even more.

as I said the resistance is negligible at the cable lengths we're talking about maybe if the cable were ten feet long it might have more of an effect and had multiple joins in them

I don't suppose anyone has tips for my cable management attempts? I'm more or less out of ideas.

Second, hide as many wires (like power) behind the motherboard tray. Then, use zip ties and get some cable sleeving. Tuck it anywhere you have open spaces, The sata for hdd, get a longer cable, or move your drive to the bottom. Patience, planning, and extensions = clean and tidy case

![]() Patience. Explore adequated routes...... (More Patience) A lot of zip ties................... (Some just for trying and some for the final result) A lot of Trial and Error.......... (More Patience) |

he doesnt need a new drive, an ide to sata adapter would be more than sufficient

or just move the drive lower down and hide the cable behind the mobo tray

Or buy a single connector cable that is the appropriate length. I still use IDE DVD drives, but I use one of these:
http://www.virtual-hideout.net/revie...x2/index.shtml Does dual IDE drives without all the extra bundled between them.

Well, The cable i have isn't long enough to do that with the placement of the IDE socket on my board. the door on my DVD is jammed anyway, so if i can't fix it, i'll just get a new SATA drive.

I'd also say, get rid of the IDE drive... But if that's not an option moving the drive a slot or two lower might be an option. Then you can route the IDE cable behind the tray

Some good looking rigs here, very nice examples to go by. I've just got some finishing touches to do on mine.
