Hi,

 

I have a EVGA 500B http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-500B-BRONZE-Power-Supply/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439289840&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+500b (it's not modular) and I don't like the cables and some aren't long enough to get to the top without poor cable management and wondered if extension cables like this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004GHD15E?colid=4JURS3P1YPYX&coliid=I3ST7MTVL9EIHV&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl, would work and improve length and look.

 

Thanks

yes I build my entire rig with those extensions since a full cablemod was too expensive at that time. they work flawlessly.

it will only improve look if you extend all the cables and hide the original ones though

Yeah it would work.. but like the other guy said... It won't really improve the looks, more likely make it look obnoxious IMO

yes, but it wont improve looks on having extensioncables

I think it can help the looks too. Pull the original cable straight to the backside and do the connection there. Tuck everything extra back there and use a lot of zipties to get the side to fit. Bring the extension to the front through the grommets and leave as little or as much as is needed for a clean look.
