I recently bought an Antec 1200 case.
Before I pull apart my current build, does anyone know if my PSU will have long enough cable for this tall case?

Here is my current PSU. (I plan on upgrading at the end of the year)

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are planning on hiding the PSU Cables using the Antec 1200 cable mamagement case system. Then yes you will need one. But if you do not mind the PSU 8-pin Mobo power cable running across the length (Bottom to Top) the no if cable length is 11" long.

You will also need this 8-pin Power Extension cable. It is needed on most Bottom mounted Psu cases.

Is this a decent extender for the 20/24 pin cable?


Also, and this is an ignorant question, but what do I need the 8 pin for?
I just checked the PSU and I am using a 4pin cable for the +12V to the mobo.

Wouldn't I need this:

Yes on the 20/24 pin extender. Any cable that is sleeved is a good one.

My mistake on the 8-pin power extension, been dealing with Mobo's that use those only now. Sorry about that.
