PCI Slot Cover / Cable Passthrough

[VanGoghComplex]

I know Case Modding is an odd spot for this, but for lack of a more general electrical/wiring forum, I thought this the best place...

I'm looking for a PCI slot cover that's got integrated cable passthroughs. What I'm imagining looks like this:



...but this particular Phobya model looks like it just takes a Molex connector from inside the PC and distributes it to four external plugs with no way to grab tach signals or send PWM signals.

My use case is a wiring umbilical for an external rad setup. I'll be powering a Splitty9 from my Aquaero, and powering/controlling a D5 pump from my PSU and Aquaero. So, total of 8 pins needed.

I'm about to settle on this:



That female side of this EPS plug combo looks like it's designed to be panel-mounted, so I could bust out the dremel on a PCI slot cover and try to make a rectangular hole. Emphasis on try.

Does anyone know of a more elegant solution for this kind of thing?

a.c.ryan makes connectors and case modding stuff to do what you want also. does not seem to be as much available as the early 2000's but could still make it work maybe.

I appreciate the link, but that one looks to be the same as the phobya - it's a power distribution only. However, it is cabled instead of PCB'd, so maybe it could be rewired to suit my purpose...

Thanks!
