I have an idea for some custom wiring for my Lian-Li V2000Plus II case..
Hopefully this would be the only wiring anyone would see.
The connector's are basically Pro Audio Microphone connector's..


Male Connector:

Female Connector that will be hard-mounted into case..

The cable I am being quite picky on.. It needs to be round cable,
Red colored, and have 4 Wire's and be able to handle 5 or 12 Volt.. ( Molex )
I found this.. It's Fire Alarn Cable.. Meets my spec's. However I am finding
it hard to find in anything under a 1000 Foot Spool..

If anyone had an idea for the cabling, please post it.. Keep in mind
that I have to have round Red cable.. No wrap or sheathing like you
can buy anywhere.. No UV..

What do you guys think?

Thanx

Generally, the ground for both 12v and 5v both go back to the same spot on the PSU, so you could probably get away with 3 strand wiring and just splice the ground to both the 12v and the 5v ground.

Check out anywhere that sells salvaged building materials, or even contact local alarm companies to see if they have scraps of the wire.. they may even give it away for free!

Well it's easier for me to just wire it up as if it was
just a molex extension.. The female receptor's would
be mounted in the case and wired together in series
and wired to a molex plug.. I will build an alum or mirrored
plexi box to cover that wiring.. Of course I could do the same
with a few of the fan/light ( 2-3 wire ) connections.. just cut the
wires i dont need short..
Thanx

as bucko aid you could just use 3 core flex which would be a lot easier to find in different colours as well as in different gauges
