Best thing to do with unused connectors

[CDC Mail Guy]

I have a 550W power supply that I am only using the main motherboard connector, the 4 pin CPU and 2 SATA plugs. What it the BEST option for the unused cords/connections? I want the case to look neat, but there is not enough room to hide them behind the back panel. Can the unused ones be safely cut off, or will that kill the PS?

I know this is a stupid question, but i really don't want them "hanging around

Wonderful idea...thank you

Edit: DONE...it still works, and I didn't blow it up or blow out the circuits in the house

Those wanting to do something similar without soldering , cut them off leaving about 3 inches of wire in case you want to re-attach later. Then put one end of a butt crimp connector on the wire. When you want to use later you can just put a wire in the other end and crimp it.

Well...to be TOTALLY honest...I opened the PSU, and without heeding your advise about desoldering (cuz I didn't know how,) I cut them off as far down as I could without cutting wires I needed
