    During my recent re-casing exercise I was surprised to discover that
    Seasonic do not sell cables for their PSUs, except for the main power
    cable. Their customer service department referred me to a company in
    Germany who can supply after market cables.

    Having ended up with a couple of cables that were supposed to fit a
    Seasonic PSU but don't I want to consider alternatives.

    Any recommendations, around 750 Watts with proper after sales support for extra cables.

    Corsair seem to offer after sales service, their black cables with black connectors are impossible to see against the black background on their
    website of course. Why oh why is dark mode so prevalent?

    When you think there's no hope left remember the lobsters in the tank in
    the Titanic's restaurant.

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and only a stairway to heaven says

    It has become totally trendy. Supposed to be good for tired eyes. Hopefully
    it will pass.
