Extension Cables for front panel connectors

[modestninja]

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of some extension cables for the front panel connectors on my case (power switch, reset switch, power LED, HDD LED, HD audio)? I found out last night while putting together my new build, that the connectors from the Silverstone FT02 won't reach the connections on my ASRock X58 Extreme. Luckily the board has the buttons built in so I can get it up and running, but it's definitely not a long term solution to run without the side panel on or open the case up every time I need to reset, or turn the power on.

I've checked newegg and a couple other sites, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. It's definitely possible I just don't know exactly what they're called.

I just looked at mine. I think with time I could make longer ones for myself. And I would buy the stuff from Performance PC's. Why not write them and find out if they know where you can get some? Be sure to measure the distance you need, perhaps even behind the MB - you might want to manage your cables while you're at it.

ANother source of fine long cables is this lovely and inexpensive front panel. I have one and I love it. And for $15 you could buy it just for the cables.

Thanks for the links. I decided I'd call Silverstone this afternoon to see what they had to say about the situation. I sent some links to the MB to the tech, Joel and he was a little surprised at where ASRock put these connections on the MB since every other MB has them in the lower left corner. He said they had extensions and longer cables and after giving him my address, he's sending a set to me so hopefully, this will be resolved when those get here.

Anyway, overall I was impressed with the customer service I got from them.

Good one. When they arrive be sure to post what is their official name, so we'll know how to search for such.
