custom flat wires

[Blayz77]

where do you guys find these nifty flat wires for stuff like your hard drive wires and things, like cables and what not that make for neater wire management

[step]

Do you mean sata cables?

The only other thing that I can think of is that you're referring to stuff like flex-force cabling found on PSU's like Ultra.

hmmm yeah its kinda hard to explain i dunno if people do this themselves or if there is a place to buy them but its like if you running multiple hard drives in a raid and the wires connecting them together go straight down alongside the hard drives hugging them essentially.. instead of say rounded cables that bow out like loops

[vwfix]

well most sata cables are flat I am guessing you are speaking fo the 90 degree sata plugs that would allow them to have a lower profile such as this

You just need to find angled sata power connectors



and the same for sata




Not sure where you can buy the power connectors, maybe P-PCs. I cut mine off an Enermax PSU and attached them to my Tagan. The right/left angle sata cables can be found anywhere...

there is some pics showing what im talking about 3/4 down

i am gonna be using sata connections for my hard drives ive never used sata before do you still use the standard 4pin molex power cable or a sata one of some sort and if so can u customize the wires to be flat like that guy is doing

[Blayz77]

ahh ok thx for the pictures thats kinda what im looking for

I think he is talking about the mod to move the sata power connectors closer together to not have extra space between them. you can do this with certain sata power connector by removing their back and pulling them off and placing them where you like.

Making Sata power cables are easy but making them right and look professional is a little more time consuming.

that works for power only right? for the regular sata cable the best you got are single 90 degree connectors that are zip tied or sleeved together
