Atx Power Plug

Anyone know where to purchase the ATX plug and pins? I want to shorten my cables and do not want to splice, but rather cut and replace. Main reason is to clean the inside of the case. I have a really long ATX cable.

Look in the catalog, they have all kinds of "tricky to find" things.

Ridenow, thanks for the link. I did a search and did not locate it at that site.

Assuming that's going to kill any warranty on your ps I suggest you shorten the cable on the other end. Open the box/shell of the ps (Let it sit unpowered for a few hours to drain the capacitors) and then unsolder the wires from their perspective mounting points on the circuit board(s), trim the wires down however much you want, and then re-solder them back on. I will recommend that if you do this you do one wire at a time instead of disconnecting all and then re-connecting all. If your memory is like mine you don't want to wind up guessing where to reconnect all of the wires to.

The warranty issue is not a problem to me. I would rather do the cutting plug side. I have the tools for removing the pins from the ATX connector, but they are crimped and cannot be reused. I just need a new ATX connector and pin sleeves.:) :) :)
