          You could have made more than $4 mowing a yard or something in the same time you spent doing that butcher job.

              I see the point of it.
              Where did you get those DIY connectors?

                Not quite.

                They have [someone has] aspirations of getting rid of the 5v to 3.3v converters on hard drive PCBs.
                [And eventually eliminate 5v entirely.]

                Hard drive manufacturers are ignoring that thus far because too many people [and power supplies] have SATA power connectors without 3.3v.
                They [HDD Mfrs] don't want scads of returns just because their drives won't work without 5v.

                      hey...if you had fun and it didn't kill anybody.....rock on!!!

                      i know I've thought about "rearranging" the power connectors on mine....too damned close together. I've had to use two lines and plug in every other HD.

                          I've been wanting to do a bit of cable management similar to this to my power supply. There is just too much cable for it to look nice and the airflow in my case can't be great from all the additional wiring just hanging in the way.

                          I wouldn't go around saying that weirdlookinguy, I run my minecraft server on our families old p4 and it runs like a champ.
