Yea I know he used screws xD, what I meant is like how did he screw them into the actual power cable? that seems like it would case a short or something if done wrong...

bolts and nuts, you can clearly see that he is holding the nut with a plier and rotating the nut on the other side :)

just take off your mobo and drill two holes!!

i personally dont like it as all the power cables will be left there suspended behind your computer, but that's only me !

Powerbars have mounts on the back. You position the screws in the rightplaces on the case, and then it slides on.

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

oh man, then I'm going to go buy a power bar. I probably won't stick it straight onto my pc but on my table or something will be really nice to have..

 

Luke amazed me on that one

this explains how to attach a powerstrip to any surface that you can put a screw in:

my mind was blown away by this mod as well

if someone could make it look nicer, it could be a feature

and you can always get/make shorter cables, so you don't have too much hanging in the back

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

They have holes in the bottom where the head of the screw goes into, then slides back to lock into place. I did something similar but only on the bottom of my desk (cable management freak):
