I am building a new rig in the NZXT phantom case, air cooled other than the processor.

Theres 3 fans, two 120mm and one 200mm on the door. Im looking to find some means of pressure connecting the power and LED control cables to the inside of the case in order to prevent having to disconnect/reconnect the wires.

I know theres various cases that have this option built in, but I have not been able to find the components on their own. I have been looking for quite a while now.
 
Yup, google showed me those too. The only problem is that you can't order just 1. You need 1500 in your cart before you can check out.

Place sad face here
 
If it were me, I would probably try abusing a 8P8C/CAT5 jack (salvaged from a broken/unused router/switch) and a modified plug (break off the clip). Affix the combo at the hinging portion of the door somehow.
 
Here's a simple fix. Get a magnetic door latch. Yknow, the ones with the two metal plates that surround the magnet.

You can solder to the plates, fairly easily. Two metal contacts separated by 1/8" of an inch, mounted to a piece of rubber, that are also soldered to a few wires... Just make sure your magnet doesn't conduct, and it likely won't, since it's typically uncoated ferrite.

I've been doing this for a few years now, for cabinet lighting and other things.
