case cables

Jury rig it... run a piece of copper between them and the jumpers

Actually, I don't see why that above reason won't work, but I'm sure there is a more legitimate solution that has less of a chance of causing a shortcirucit or having something go terribly wrong. You could try calling the case company, but that probably wouldn't help much either...

I don't know if there are any extension cables for this, but this problem would seem quite common to me.. shrug

That seems like a true modders idea, and I don't see how it won't work from a EE standpoint. It's just copper wires, and all it should transmit is very minimal current to power the LED's (which is what I assume those headers do anyways, send power whenever its accesing, nothing fancy)

Give it a shot, definitly won't hurt if you have no other way.

I'll be happy to back up what the rest have said - this is a low-current, DC application so patching in any similar wire gauge will be fine. Be careful not to mix up the wires. And remember to insulate the splices! The use of some heat-shrink tubing will insulate and keep things neat looking.

yes just cut solder in an extention(tape it up) and good to go....it will not hurt anything in the distance you are talking about....

Heh, it doesn't really matter for what he's doing, since he's connecting the case led's to a mobo header, so the PSU isin't involved when cutting the wires. When connecting them, make sure it's off, but I doubt the mobo header would pump out enough amps to seriously cause harm before it burns itself out...

But nice warning though!
