Does any one know where to find a power-supply internal extension cable? (such as one seen in this picture)

You could make your own, if you can't find one.

Thanks, but I'm looking for the 3-Prong PSU cable extension for the inside of the computer. Seen in the upper right of the picture.

or even the upper left...

Take one of these (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1496)

and a power cable. Cut the cable to length, fit this connector to the chassis and connect them.

Or, if you have room and like cutting big holes...

Oooh, perfect! That'll do just fine. Now where can I find that in the U.S? :rolleyes:

Pretty much any electrical store. Failing that, do you have access to a dead PSU? That will have one fitted.

Actually I'd prefer that connector on the bottom, the one with the switch. I have a dead PSU but the switch and connector are two separate pieces.

Now for question 2:
Since I will have limited space in this special setup, I need a power cable with a 90 degree bent PSU connector. Do you know where to find that?

Thanks again,
Indybird

EDIT: Almost forgot, +rep

I have seen smaller moulded ones, I got one with a printer once. If there's an electrical recycling place near you, try there.

Of course, don't forget that Murphy's law will dictate that any right angle connector will be angled the wrong way. In that case it may be possible to rotate the PSU's connector to suit.

You could poll the connector out of the PSU that you're using, and just cut up a 120V grounded electrical cord and use that to extend it. The switch would still be seperate, though.
