PSU: Cutting the clutter (literally)

[WorldIndustries]

Okay, so I really love my Antec PSU, but there are too many connectors. I don't even use half of 'em, and I don't think I ever will, especially the two PCI-E connectors, and some other connectors I've never even seen before.

So can I just cut these off? And do something like tape them over or use heatshrink over the ends, so it's impossible to touch the [very small amount of] exposed wire?

 

[The General]

NO! DO NOT DO THAT! You'd have to shrink wrap each wire individually.

Just bundle them up...

And this is why I have a modular PSU. I just don't plug in what cables I don't need.

 

[WorldIndustries]

I do. I bundle them up, but there are so many of them, it's a huge mess, and it'd be so much better if I could just cut them off...

I want to get my case REALLY organized, and there's no way to do this with all these extra wires and connectors.

 

[The General]

Why is everyone so worried about organizing cables? It won't make your computer faster, and your componants don't make that much heat, so why would it matter?

It looks nicer for us with OCD

 

[The General]

But it's on the inside, you can't even see it.

Oh wait, you people have window-cases.





Meh.

 

[WorldIndustries]

Makes it a helluva' lot easier when connecting/disconnecting/adding/removing parts too.

ya the general isnt into all the tricked out looking computer cases from what I hear.

 

[The General]

You've heard correctly.

 

[WorldIndustries]

Well, that's what we've come to expect from Mac owners
