Why antec?

I got a p180 and an antec neo 430 watts. So they are both antec. But why is the 4pin cable so short that i cant drag it behind the motherboardplate?!

Our new PSU's have longer cables now. Even then, sometimes those 4pins are even to short.

There are 4 pins extender on the market so maybe that would be somethign for you?

The exact same combination works well for me, so it also depends on your motherboard configuration.

Does it really? The 4pin is so high at top on the motherboard that it ever possibly could be.

Well it is a old psu but i have been kinda frustrated about it since i bought it 3 years ago.

I bought mine at about the same time, and I remember really having to pull quite hard at it, and being a little bit worried about the motherbaord, but it worked. I actually loosened the screws to the PSU, connected the cable, and then tightened the screws again, it was THAT close! Can't remember the exact location now, it has been ticking as a server for close to 3 years now, and hasn't been opened since.

But I think the easy answer to your question is that the PS was designed before the case.
