Has anyone ever clipped the excess leads from a PSU? Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on removing them? I am very tired of trying to hide a giant rats nest of unused power leads.

Had a chance to pull my machine apart last night and check out the damage. I started out by removing the dead water pump from the hoses coming out of the back of the box. I attempted to drain the liquid out using the old suck and blow method and was unable to make the liquid budge. So, I had to...
haha... yeah... wife has already OK'd the purchase of a nForce 3 250 board, a 64 bit Athalon and a ATI 9800 XT.... Now if I can convince her to let me get a Koolance and toss the old WC system...
Don't think I am going to go multi proc this time aorund.
At about 1:30 AM last night, my wife came into the bedroom where I was stone cold asleep and announced, "Bobby, I think we have a problem." And then I awoke to the most horrid burning rubber smell I have ever encountered. "Could you come here?" my wife asked. I got out of bed grumbling and...
