Re: Animal Panel power cables

2013-04-06 by Antonio

ok

seems the TKB can go with them...
is less power hungry than the SoupK

question:
where in Europe can I buy the molex connectors male female, and pins, like the serge ones?

(I'd like to change my CGS panels to the same power input style)

thanks
Ant

TKB may be Ok there too (w. PS4) as it's not very hungry..
