Which Wire?

Hey guys

I want to lenghen the Wire on one of my Molex connectors for an hout of case mod. Just wondering what sort of wire I should look for weather it is just plain steel wire, i know its not copper.

I think I posted in the right forum. Also is it possible to get a 12v plug to some sort of molex conversion or would I have to strip the 12v wire and connect it with a bit of solder?

Cheers

Cheers for the info. My plan is to make a external control box for my cathodes, so not that much current., I was thinking I could buy a 12v plug and then strip the end and soilder it to the molex wire then heatshrink the soilder joints like you said, would this work? or could I wire the 12V plug straight into a molex connector?

Cheers

I want to make my own control box as im having a few lights plugged into it and don't want to run it out of my main rig. i thought about doing it but didnt want all the cables trailing from my rig. cheers anyway.

I see what your saying, I looked into a Cheap Power supply, just thought i could make the box smaller by just running a 12V wire into it. I wanted it so that i didnt have to have my PC on, but no you mention it and the more thought i put into it it becomes more sense to have that groovy Molex slot thing instead then just make a small mod for the switch. Cheers for the input, off to B&Q soon to get *** Wire i need to make the cathode reach. I'll post piccies
