I'm planning a new system build for my wife with an ASUS Sabertooth Z170 S and want to use white and gray cable extensions. I can buy everything I need except for the male end of the SATA power cables. This is essentially what I want:

but with right angle connectors on the female ends. Unfortunately, it appears they're no longer manufactured. I can get these but they don't meet the "white & gray" and right angle requirements:

If I build the cables myself, I can get the female connectors:

but the male connectors elude me. The internal part is available but no shell:

I've ordered a few cheap cables to rip apart and see how they're made. Hopefully, someone here has already done this and knows of a source of the male SATA power plugs.

Thanks for any ideas you can share.

Instead of going for extensions that does use quiet a bit of power from your PSU due to resistivity and adds to undue cable clutter I'm one of those folks who suggest having the entire PSU sleeved from the ground up though it'd be much easier if you had a modular PSU. On that note, I'd ask you to contact Ensourced Customs and see if they can hook you up with angled connectors and in the flavor you're looking for. They also make extensions so you're going to be in good hands ;)

Might I ask what your build consists of to this point?
