PSU flat fexable cables

Is this kind of case modding a good idea?

I would like to get some modular flexible cables for my new psu. I have questions regarding this issue and of course different companies don't like to share this information through their TECH departments.

I recently purchased a Antec tp-750 w/ round modular cables. Though they are new, they aren't very flexible. I have watched this vid clip about a Corsair psu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veyz7pAy0s0 I really would like the modular cables that come with this unit.

So, first can I do that,(use the cables from one psu, on a different psu) and second, are there any aftermarket people making cables like these? :)

Thanks, Tom
 
Anything which removes colour coding from cables is bad.

No, the pinouts will be different. If you try to do so directly (without rewiring the connectors), you'll fry either the PSU, the components you're using, or both.
 
Actually, the Corsair cables aren't that flexible (I have the 520HX). I much prefer the ones that came with my Seasonic SS-430GM.
 
I like the flat corsair cables, they aren't flexible, but you can fold them nicely. I have since grown out of them and fell in love with enermax's sleeving.
 
The flat cables are my only dislike about the Corsair psu's. I can't stand the stiffness, I really wish they'd just switch over to sleeved.
 
The silver color of my Ultra PSU's cables is the only thing I dislike, lol. I'd actually rather have normal colored molex so I could snip and slice most of the wires then sleeve them to my hearts content.
