¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can I somehow chop some wires near where the PSU is, and add in molexs or something like that? I have over 10 hard disc connectors, yet I only need 1 and it's making my case look a mess!

Here's a pic:

Look at it! I'm tempted to just chop off the ones I don't need, but I'm sure there is a better way of doing this. Are there any molex kits or anything like that?

use a cable tie to put them all together then put them to the side, does take up lots of space tho :(
Bah, I think I'll have to (for now). I'm gonna have a dig around for some molex connectors tomorrow...

Then I'm gonna bust out the soldering iron and sort this mess one way or another! :cool:
 
Can't you tape the excess cables behind the motherboard. I've done that and they're neatly tucked away.

Not really enough room for this amount of cables.

I eventually did this:

I added a 6pin gfx card connector made from an adapter, and got rid of 3 molex power cables by slicing extra molex connectors in, so it should reduce clutter somewhat. :)
