Taking apart PSU?

[muirj101]

I am planning a build for a friend, and want to know what to do when taking apart a psu. I want to do this for sleeving and cutting off the cables I won't be using

Thanks

Well, cardinal rule is make sure everything is unplugged 😀

Can your friend spend slightly more for a modular PSU?

Buy a modular PSU.
No cable worries.
No dead member.

Plus you will void the warranty if you open it up. I assume they test PSUs at the factory, so the capacitors could still retain a dangerous charge. Generally not a good idea.

Thing is, I want the psu to have the color of the theme, but it doesn't come modular. Here's a link to it, https://goo.gl/DfkPei

That PSU is pretty crappy, wouldn't recommend it.

Buy a modular psu from seasonic.

This PSU

I can't begin to state how strongly this is a bad idea, on multiple levels.
1. RAIDMAX. Just don't.
2. If you need to ask how to take apart a PSU...don't.

sorry but I need to ask, would you power your desk lamp with this?

Nor even an LED flashlight...
