I recently bought one of those enermax liberty power supplies but each cable has 2 sata and 2 molex. Well since i dont use the sata (yet) id like to make 2 of the 6 cables just molex.

how would i go about removing the sata and replacing with the molex connectors? (switch them around)

I'm no expert, and I'd do some googling before you go plugging this into anything important, but you'd either extract or cut the cables from the SATA plugs, and put the 12 volt (yellow) 2 grounds (black wires) and 5volt (red wire) in that order in a 4-pin molex plug. From what I understand, it's pretty simple, in theory. You just gotta get the right order or you'll short out your HDD or something.

Again I'm no expert, don't go by my word, I have NO experience in this. it all SEEMS like this is how it should work, yet as you probably know, in computers, nothing is certain, and there are few set standards.
