I'm so mad right now I literally can't see straight (this is me -->> )

Basically I need this computer part VERY BADLY
http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/profile/1539.htm

That is the only site I found with that part. Its a 4 pin 12 inch Female/Female power extension cable for your computer. The reason why it's hard to find is because 99.9 percent of extension cables are male to female (with respect too, not many people need female to females)

Here's the problem. That company makes you run up a total order of @ least 10 bucks, AND THEN they turn around and charge you $6.50 for shipping. I'm not about to pay $16.50 for 3 dollars parts #Fist #Fist #Fist

HERE IS MY CRY FOR HELP

If anyone happens to see that type of cable, or can point me to a website that DOESNT make you bu 10 dollars worth of stuff I would be EXTREMELY grateful.

THANK YOU

www.dealsonic.com
I almost guarantee that they have the part and they don't require a minimum order

And I thought getting ahold of f to f connections for music equipment was a nightmare

I can't promise you any results due to such a strange layout... I'll look around for you.

You can make that cable for like $5.00.

Just hit any local electronics supply store and purchase 2 female molex connectors, chances are you will get a bag of 5 for like $3.00. Then get the pins from the same place, another $1.99, then grab some proper spec wire and a crimper and your good to go.

Those prices are based on what I paid at a local store for connectors that I wanted to make.


Oh, and I dont mean radio shack although they just may have what your looking for. I was thinking of something like future electronics or any other electronics supply company.

Yet another option is to grab a old PC or power supply from a friend, a junker and take and cut the female connectors off its power supply, leave yourself about 6" of wire, get some heatshrink tubing, solder two 6" lengths with the Female connectors on each end then melt the heatshrink tubing over the joined cable...good to go and may even cost you nothing......



Just my thoughts.
