I just purchased a Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900 (say that fast 5 times) along with a  Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750FX 750W 80+ Gold ATX12V & EPS12V Full Modular PSU, What I'm trying to figure out is how I get the lengths of the cabling I need before the equipment arrives so that I can have the cables here when I move my current setup into the new one. Anyone have experience in cabling the 900 and know what lengths you used and what did or didn't work?

 

I've use google and I can find nice looking build but no one i have seen gives the lengths they used.

From the reviews i saw online the standard cable lengths should be more than fine. Be Quiet would do themselves no favour if standard cables of most psu brands would be too short

I've never used this case but what i would do it check the hight etc of the case and base on that get cables which are a few centimeters longer to give them some slack

OK, I just worry, My old PSU didn't even give me enough length for the 4+4 pin to reach the motherboard. Admittedly it was a kingwin lazer

You an see the cable lengths here: https://seasonic.com/focus-plus-gold#cables

If you want it to be tidy I would suggest waiting. The only thing you lose is starting a few days later. Wait for everything to arrive and the measure then order. That is what I am currently doing with my Meshify C but I am super insecure about my measurements (that the aren't long enough) ... that sounded so wrong. 
Sorry, I don't have lengths for a DBP 900

@CableMod I'm wondering if you can help on this. I sent an email to you all but no response yet. Are the CableMod SE-Series XP2 / XP3 / KM3 / FL2 ModFlex The proper cables for the Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750FX 750W 80+ Gold ATX12V & EPS12V Full Modular PSU?
