Does any one have any clue as to where I might get an ATX power connector set, to replace the ones on the mobo and the cable. I contact both ASUS and Antec, the power supply manufacturer, but all they tell me is to request an RMA number. The mobo and PS are out of warranty, so they are no help. I removed the 5 volt pins on the mobo, they are totally coroded. I contacted Molex The manufacturer of the Connector, but they don't bother responding.

Mouser.com actually has all the parts.

Motherboard end - $2.57 for one 20 pin solder connector. Tin plated.

PSU Nylon shell - $1.12 for a 20 pin shell.
http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntt=39-01-2200

20 crimp pins for PSU Nylon shell - $1.80 total
http://www.mouser.com/search/Refine.aspx?Ne=1447464+254016&Ntt=*39000039*&Msb=0&Mkw=39-00-0039&N=1323038+0


So Mouser wins a prize. Digikey didn't stock the Mobo end.

Thanks for responding. Today I received a response from a chap at Molex and they are sending out the parts as samples.
