Coworker's PC power supply has died. I found an old one in storage and it works fine but when the replacement supply is installed into the case, the 24-pin and 8-pin cables aren't long enough. I would have thought that every computer supplies place would sell simple extenders, but no, these are not much of a thing, presumably because they're not stylish with absurd RGB LED fixtures. I'm going to have to mail order them, aren't I?

@dgar Sadly, this would probably be the quickest solution. I hate it.
@futzle @dgar the psu manufacturer probably has to certify the cabling from board to plug and cable extenders introduce 2 uncontrolled/untested short locations. I dunno how things like this work but it was a whole thing when I was dealing with sparkies and network/power cable installations. They had to use fresh cable for new runs etc to comply with some regulation or other thing
@futzle
Wouldn't it be quicker to pick up a different PSU? 🤷
maybe with some absurd RGB lighting...
