I've just ordered a few sets of the metal pins which are inside the plugs
I'm going to cut the cables down put new pins on the end then put the original plug back on,
Ordered enough to do my 24 pin, 8 pin, and my pci-e pins. I'm off work on Thursday and Friday, so hopefully give it a go.
My psu is fully modular so if I ever need longer wires I can just buy new wire and make them long again, I wouldn't do it if my 24 pin was hard wired in.
I've also ordered 1 sata power end plug so i can cut the rest off the cable, I'm only having one ssd so it should help keep clutter down
My mobo only arrives tomorrow tho, so I can't measure cable length just yet.
I'm just gutted that everything I have has a blue theme, then I'm stuck with an ATi gfx card with a big red stripe & fan
