Fold them up neatly and leave them alone. There is nothing good
that will result from random snipping of power supply cables.
You're in grave danger of shorting something out, to say nothing
of the fact you would eliminate any possibility of ever adding
anything to the computer.

hi all.
i've got this old but small pc that i'm trying to "sooop" up and i
want to
have the case as empty as poss inside. now the thing is there is a
huge
excess of power cables coming from the PSU, taking up space and
being a
general mess. does anyone know if these can just be cut away?? if so
is
there any specific finishing necessary eg. re-insulating bits and
bobs??

all help appreciated.

cheers all.
