PC extension cables
They look good compared to all the cheap cables you can buy at Microcenter or Newegg. But the cables are too stuff. It is just impossible to undo the kink/bend in the cable so I have to find a position to use it in your case with the same bend.The outer plastic cover of the package is so brittle that it just crumpled when I cut it to open the package. I would have liked a softer plastic and also buttons (that are sealed like in Antec TrueQuiet fans) or dont seal the buttons but seal the box with a tape so that I know it is not a open box item. That way I dont have to destroy the outer package in case I dont use all the cables and want to store the rest. It is better to store a product with its packaging so that when you take it out after a long time, you know what it is. Otherwise if you dump them all on a box, you may not know what it is after a long time. BTW the Antec fan package is also brittle and it just cracks/crumples when you pull the button apart.At least it works. I used the CPU extension and my PC boots up but I would not call it a Premium Cable&. If they had made it more ductile i.e not as stiff, I would have given a higher rating. It is the same with all the other NZXT cables. I bought the fan extension and front panel extension cables and they are also very stiff. Just impossible to undo the kink/bend in the cable so that I can fit in anyway I want in the case.So here is my suggestion to NZXT. Make them softer ie more pliable. That means they may have to use better material and the cost would go up. Well you can still have the cheaper option available for people who would rather pay less and deal with a stiff cable than pay a few bucks more and have the flexibility to bend the cables and route them as they want in the case.One more suggestion. Dont put separate sleeves as that only makes them stiffer. Use a softer cable insulation material and put a single sleeve. This may make the cable more flexible.

An essential tool for any system builder.
Cable management is an important thing when building your computer. It not only keeps the system looking great and presentable, but it allows for easier access to components.These cables work just how you think they would- you plug in your power supply cables into these to extend them so you can route them better behind the mobo tray and tie them down. They are also a consistent and nice black which can kind of bring together the look of your case since most power supply cabling will be a mix of colors which can really throw of the "unity" of a build.This pack has everything you need to build a single graphic card system. The cabling itself feels good and the threading is high quality.They attach easily to your corresponding connectors and snap into place firmly. These things do not feel cheap.While this has everything you need, I recommend getting a few other cables to complete your build. There is a cable for your front panel connectors NZXT CB-FRPAN SET 300mm Individually Sleeved Front Panel Connections Premium Cable (Black) which have a similar build and more sturdy than your normal front panel connectors, which often are flimsy and have a thin plastic sheathing.I also recommend you get NZXT Individually Sleeved 3Pin fan Y Cable 2 Male to 1 Female Premium Cable (CB-3P-Y) for your fans. This particular cable is nice because it allows you to connect two fans to one fan pin. Again, has better sheathing than your typical fan cabling and keeps a consistent color, as where fan cabling is sometimes crazy (but maybe you like the fan cabling- so admittedly this is about preference).Anyway, unless your power supply has some very long cables for Full ATX (and even sometimes Mid ATX)towers, I highly recommend these.

Adds a nice look to any computer
I wanted to sleeve my own cables, but realized how much of a pain it was going to be. I certainly wanted to make my setup look nice, but wasnt willing to spend hours and hours sleeving, and spend big money on all the heatshrink/sleeves. Then I found this pack by NZXT, and decided to give it a try. The cables look very nice and go well with my black interior (Corsair 600T). Only real complaint (and why I knocked off a star) was because the cables were very stiff. They come bent (like in the picture) and there is no real way to full straighten them back. Doesnt ruin the look of the cables, but does make it hard to position. Wish they were softer cables.

Nice but beware
The cables are nice to look at and fit well. But pay attention to how the wires connect in the connectors. I put together my new build and while the computer was on I noticed one of my video cards (GTX 580 3gb) the fan was not spinning. I lightly touched the cable and the fan spun up at full power or more 100%. I shut down computer and what did I find but one of the wires had fallen out of the connectors. I pushed it back in and it seated. So I checked each cable and each wire from the rest of the kit. Now I will be forever watching these cables and not totally trust them. Poor assembly. The connectors are of poor quality. Who knows about the wires since you can not see them. See something happens like this and it makes you leary of your purchase. But they do look very nice.I would love to buy matching SATA cables, but now I am not sure.

Adequate
These are cable extension, they are made to do what they do. However the motherboard extension does not work, I'm not sure why. It doesn't make it a bad product, maybe it was my power supply. It was a Raidmax RX-700AC. All the other extension cables worked, so no worries about that. I recently upgraded my power supply to a Corsair RM - 750, the Nzxt cables don't work with the rm 750. My power supply would not turn while using the cable extensions. I wouldn't really blame the extensions, because corsair makes their own sleeved cable, maybe that's why it did not work.Overall, this is a good buy, its just that it has incompatibility issues, which I expected. Just be aware when you use get a newly released power supply, it might not work.

very pretty
not the best made cables i have seen and had to repair the second gfx cable as there was a fault , quality of manufacture could have been a little better given the price

OTTIMO
il prodotto ha ritardato un po ad arrivare, causa ordine sbagliato, appena ho montato il kit il pc aveva nuova forma, molto pulito e molto curato il cablaggio nei materiali. La lunghezza è adatta per ogni case ed essi calzano a pennello su tutti gli alimentatori.Ottimo prodotto dal prezzo contenuto
