Hey i have recently finished my gaming PC but the power cables that plug into my hard drive split off into 3 connectors, this is not good in my case as I'm using 1 cable for my SSD and hard drive but there is still 2 hanging off, my PC case doesn't have that much room around the back so i need new cables, is this possible? also if so is there a way to get blue cables to replace all of my cables so it will match the LED's, if anyone can help with this it would be heavily appreciated.
 


Oh sorry. seems these sata cables are a harder thing to make and buy parts for, but with searches i found some of them just not all, To be honest once you bought the bits + the special tools it would turn out pricey.
Those middle connectors on your sata power cables stick out 90 degree,s so i understand why they are a little tight, i folded mine down flat with the cable and taped them there as you never see them behind there anyway, you could just run them normally through the case or even just cut the connectors out of the wire either side and solder/shrink wrap each back together. cut one wire at a time and solder/wrap to avoid soldering wrong wires , then cover the whole cable with a braid for looks. or you can pull the connectors in the middle apart carefully , taking the back cap off and that will release the wires from the connector slots leaving just the wires but this will leave some plastic missing around those wires which would need to be recovered with electric tape/ shrink wrap . Or you might get someone with these tools/bits to build you some custom, could try the makers for that too. I know that some of this sounds kinda dodgy, but if it is done well it could work well and even look tidy. customs will cost a fair bit and getting bits/tools would cost a fair whack too
 
This link is frozencpu, I Knew there was someone who specialised in modding pc's. They are big into modding and advertise they make custom sata cables to your specs + other pc cables too. Choose connection colour/wire colour amount of connector/length etc http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11288/cab-261/FrozenCPU_BackBlaze_Custom_Power_Cable.html?tl=g50c305
They also sell all the bits. http://www.frozencpu.com/shop_category.html
Keep in mind that psu companies will wire the sata plugs the same as any other, but the end that goes into the psu won't all be wired the same, the pins are different at times on that end, which is why you just can't buy some ready mades unless they are certified for that psu model. I think sending them a sample spare sata power cable the psu came with to reference the layout to build the new as you want it would be best. Anyway they could advise you on this. http://www.frozencpu.com/contactus.html
Wouldn't it be nice to swap ALL the cables out with blue sleeved cables and blue UV reactive glow connectors
The 24 pins power and 4+4 cpu power (ERPS) and the pci-e cables that come from the psu can just use a pre-made sleeved extensions, the psu wires come into the wiring management area behind the mobo and connect there to the extension , then the extension gets routed to the mobo/graphics connector out front and all you see is nice braided wires https://www.pccasegear.com/category/1354_1357/modding/cable-sleeving-and-management do have those.

I hope this makes up for the oversight before
