    honestly i think the cables are too thin for those... could look better if you get some sort of adapter, så that the edge looks so "steep"... if you know what i mean...

    what about painting the molexplugs blue?

    True the cables are thin, but a molex is like 1" wide. So you need something that big around. Some sort of adapter after the clamp is a good idea. I do not want to see any molex plugs in the case. Thanks for the adapter idea, I will see what I can come up with.

    You could omit the original molexes and mold / cast yourself a custom one. At one point while doing my Plexeon case, i considered making a horizontal angled molex plug for my harddisks.

    I will have to come up with some thing. By the way, I looked at your Plexeon pictures before starting my project. You did a great job. Your case and the Orac are the reason I went with acrylic.

    They already make 90 degree molex plugs. They bite into the wire similar to how IDE cables do. Its metal teeth that pierce the wire when the cap is pushed on.

    They even sue them in xboxs

    :eyebrow: yes i know about those 90 degrees molexes. I'm talking about custom sideways angled power connectors.

    Sorry no pics or drawings, it's all but a thought. I got the idea from some guy who attempted to make a combined IDE and power cable for his harddisk. I lost that link, was too long ago.
