    ok so i got a ultra x-connect and they sent me a bunch of cables, two of wich im not sure what to do with. one of them i think is for the xeon chipset. it has 12 small square holes 6 of witch has metal connectors it has a snap on top and a little plasitic notch sticking out from the bottom.

    the other looks like the connectors for th power to the mother board one side is 4pin like for the p/4 mother boards and looks like it but the other is and eight pin of the same connector. any ideas as to what this may be.

    I too have an XConnect PSU.
    Unless you have a Xeon, you will not need the 6pin cable.
    You will probably need the 4pin ATX power cable (Small square connector) and the 20 pin power cable (unless your mobo has a 24 pin power connector, in which case you'll need a special cable.
    The other cables are up to you.. Some of the y-cables are there to link up more than one device (for example PSU to HDD and CD ROM)
    It takes some thought and planning to get it looking neat, but it's worth it in the end.
    What are your specs? What mobo, CPU etc?

    You can forget the Xeon cable then. And fortunately the newer XConnects come with SATA cables - the older ones didn't.
    there should be a lot more cables in the box than you'll need for your system... i think it's going to look pretty cool when it's all done..
    What colour PSU did you go for?
