Default PSU connector ?

on an Antec TruBlue 480 can I cut off the auxiliary power connector
(Ps1) and the +12v connector without causing any damage to Mb
or PSU. I am building up a new system, Gigabyte 7n400 pro,
AMD 2500 barton in an acrylic case and since I won't be needing
these I don't want to sleeve them up.
Thanks
Huck

as long as there is no required motherboard connector (eg some athlon
motherboards have the OPTION for the p4 to be connected - some MIGHT need it
however) then cut away! just make sure to end the wires properly so it cant
short out on mother board, or another wire.

i think safest option is to connect all connectors and test pc first,
dissconnect the ones you want to cut (eg p4 connector if motherboard
requires) and see how pc reacts. if stable, then your good to attack with
sidecutters.

you can cut them off if you insulate them properly. best way is to cut each
wire a little shorter than the next, so they can't touch. then stick them
inside your sleeving.

i'll *bet* you'll end up wishing you'd left at least one there though later!
