Ultra X-Connect power cable 90 degree mod ( 2 Views )

1. Hey all. I finally decided to clean up the 20 pin main cable for my X-Connect power supply. I took off the plastic cap months ago so I could route the cable more cleanly, but never got around to modding the cap.
   
   First I drilled a pilot hole in the side, where I approximated the cable coming out.
   
   
   
   Then I cut off the top bit that used to be the cable support.
   
   
   
   Next I trimmed the clear plastic tubing and test fitted it.
   
   
   
   Then assembled it, using a zap strap (I wanted to be able to restore it to a non-90 or reverse the 90 in case I change motherboards or cases) and a piece of electrical tape over the hole (I know, not the prettiest solution, but it works and doesn't look too bad).
   
   
   
   And finally, I reinstalled it into my case.
   
   
   
   I have some other ideas about how to clean up the cables a bit more... but that'll be later.

4. Yeah... didn't really want to do that, cause if I keep this power supply for a new case or motherboard, it'd be too short most likely.
