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.

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

The fact that there's a highway to hell and only a stairway to heaven says 
a lot about anticipated traffic numbers.
