Yeah, all I did was cut the wires about half way up, swap and splice them together. Works fine for now until the replacement comes in.

I didn't get the green light. It just turned off as soon as I connected the adapter. The barrel plug +/- weren't in the right position.

Contacted the seller, sent pictures. He said the cable wasn't made correctly. New one on the way.

It's the same one you have a few posts back (new_used_computer_parts)

I just got my Dell DA-2 in, when I plug it into the wall with nothing attached the indicator light is orange, as soon as I plug in the the 8pin adapter (got it on ebay, looks like it's wired properly) the light goes out and nothing happens. Akitio box gives a green indicator light when using the psu it comes with. Is the Dell DA-2 bad?

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Thank you! Your build is great, so clean looking!

Has anyone figured out how much power is going to the fan and LED in the akitio thunder2? Could we hook up custom LED lights that run from either of the cables? Also, to those who have cut the Akitio case. What did you use?
