I have been trying to do this for the longest time and it just came to me last night. I dont know why I never though to do this.

I am making a stealth dresser and I wanted to put a gutted PC on top to hold the exhaust and electrical stuff. I re wired it so that the only cord coming from the entire setup will be the one that is supposed to come from the computer so nothing looks fishy at all.

1. First I removed the power box and opened it up. Just unscrew the board on leave nothing but what you see here. That just the outlet socket, and its small circuit with the switch. You will have to remove the white connector tip for this to work.

2. In this picture I have removed everything and connected the tip that were in the white connectors to about two feet of 8/12 power cable lamp cord.

3. The other end is connected to this socket connector. Its very easy to use and cheap too which is better. LOL.

4. Then just put it back on the box. I covered the tips for safety and this works no problem. No I can put my power strip INSIDE the box and not have wires sticking out of everything.
