Posted March 5, 2016 So I have some money, (like $60), and I am shopping on Amazon for a replacement power supply fan. I want to get something else too. The cables on my power supply are ugly. They have a solid 3 inches of ketchup and mustard cables exposed, with another 2 inches of shrink wrap. It's an eyesore. Cable extensions would solve that problem and beyond. For $32, I can get replacement graphics card and motherboard cables. I don't need a CPU extension since I cant really see it. At the moment, I am using ear buds to listen to my computer. The sound quality on them is mediocre. These speakers look great, and apparently sound pretty good too. So should I get new cables or new speakers? Vote in the poll or give me advice down below. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, just get a new, semipassive PSU or something.

I still think there is a spare computer speaker set in my house somewhere, and I'll try to find them before I make a purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need to do I replace the fan You do know though, that this involves opening the chassis of the PSU and revealing the electrical components inside? Some of which, even with the PSU being unplugged from the wall, carry a whole shit ton of deadly electrity inside.
