So my PSU and radiator are very close, which I (stupidly) thought would be fine but has led to some complications. Plugging the stiff power cables into my computer is virtually impossible without more flexible cabling so close to the radiator. Here are pictures:

Is there any way I can fix this without too much repositioning?
I was thinking I would use either this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/18817/psu-cab-54/Cors...
or this: http://www.cables4pc.co.uk/24-pin-extension
Though I am not sure if either of those would solve the problem.

Are you able to turn the radiator around so that the hose connections are towards the front of the case? You'll notice that one end of the radiator sticks out more then the other. Also if there is clearance under the case you can put the fans on the outside which will drop the radiator down a bit to get the cables plugged in.
The last resort would be to get those cables from Frozen CPU.

What case do you have.

I can't turn teh radiator around because the case doesn't have any room, I already thought of that. I don't think I could put the fans outside the case either, because the fans are thicker than the clearance space on the bottom...

I'll have pics soon. Case is Corsair 750d, radiator is alphacool nexxos ut60 240mm, and power supply is seasonic SS-1050XM.

Also that weird rust looking stuff on the reservoir top in the picture is not actually there, just colorless smudges that show up in picture dark brown/orange.

Is there room at the top of the case to put the radiator?

There could be room to stand it up in the front of the case.

There's no room at the top. I could move it to the front, but that would require intense repositioning of a lot of things that I don't really want to have to do.
