The 8 pin CPU power connector on my Enermax 720w is barely long enough to reach the motherboard connection. It's so tight that I can barely fit my GPU and can't fit my sound card (the psu is on the bottom of the case). Are there 8 pin extensions I can buy and use or can I just go with a molex to CPU power adapter? I would rather use an extension but at this point I just want to get my X-fi back in there.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, too bad it's $7 shipped... Now the question becomes is it worth it to buy this or drive to Fry's and see what they have. Based on the distance (gas consumed) and tax Fry's would need to sell it for ~$3.50 or less to make it worth it.

I wish monoprice had this, they are always much cheaper.

Holy shipping butt rape quicksilver! D:

Didn't say it was a fair price :p
Newegg has always done that with small items, sell at cheap but charge up the ass for shipping.

You could always see if sites like FrozenCPU, Jabtech, etc. has it cheaper...

SVC had it for $3.99 with free shipping so I went for it. Everywhere else was actually more expensive than newegg for some odd reason. This saves me from the ~20 min drive to Fry's now, thanks!

I got mine from SVC locally also. They are fast, easy, and no BS. SVC rocks.
