Has anyone ever spotted right-angled (or left) PC power cables at a South African (preferably Cape Town) store? I mean these: http://www.showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=9236 . My cabinet for the media server isn't that deep, so I'm looking to decrease the depth of the server itself - and the power cable jutting out isn't helping. Thanks.

Only thing I was able to find was this: http://www.wantitall.co.za/Electron...A-5-15P-Black-10-Feet-3-04-Meters__B000ERCNVI
You could chop off the one end and put a SA plug on it, pitty it's so expensive though.

Doh! Thanks for that - I was being rather dim - someone's on their way from the US in 2 weeks, and Amazon has those for $7.
You can try Mantech

Can have a look here too : http://za.rs-online.com/web/
Search top left for Product number 317-383, you'll need to get the plug tops seperately.
Was looking for the same thing on Monday and one of my suppliers found them for me, not sure if you can buy directly from the website though, you'll have to check that out.

Yes, you can, and their delivery fees are not too expensive either. I've ordered 5 or six items at once, and had them make 3 deliveries over a three day period, all for the single delivery fee!
