Hi there,
I've just bought a few things for the insides of my case, as i'm looking to make a side window soon. I've bought some 12" UV lights (2), and a UV reactive fan grill which comes with a small UV light behind it.
Both of these have a strange little adapter. The molex cable has a small plug on it coming off, which goes into a box. Into the box, up to two things can be plugged in. This is the same for both of these new things. The problem is, I now have two little boxes stuck down on my power supply, with cables going in one end, out the other end, and then to each side of my case. This is a nightmare for my cabling, which is already bad.
I've also ordered a fan controller because my PC sounds like a shuttle taking off, and i'm sure this is going to make the wiring job even worse. I really need to sort it out.
I'm currently spending time wiring cables through the back, behind the motherboard, i didn't know this could be done before and I put the computer together in a rush.
So, my question is... these little boxes that are causing me problems, is it not possible to just have one, which plugs into a normal molex, and will provide power to all three of these devices? It's a nightmare because each one of them, has two cables going into it... red and black, not wired together or wrapped in any way. that * 3 = 6 cables, add the two going to the boxes each makes 8 extra cables, half of which are bright red, all of which are scrawny and horrid looking.
