Need help finding Molex to 12v DC male cable to buy

The Molex to DC male cable that powers one of my PC's LED strips has broken.

It's one of these:

Sellers on both Amazon UK and eBay seem to be selling them for £7.50, which seems extremely expensive for what the product is.

Can anyone help me find a cheaper one?

In fact, I bet I could buy a whole single-strip kit (with that cable) for less than £7.50

Wow I'm in the wrong job - can make those for like 40 pence :s

(EDIT: Though I guess sales volume isn't exactly very high on those heh).

how is it broken? Can it not be rewired/soldered?

Likely but I don't know anyone who can do it.

I was hoping a new one would be around £2 but it seems I was very wrong :eek:

If its only the main cable, then it's just 2 wires red and black.

You could even just twist then back together and wrap with insulating tape, if you don't have a soldering iron
