The plug came with my kit, though I did have to connect it. That probably wasn’t helpful to you, I know.

If you have a old computer tower cord that could work. Or a short extension cord. I’m still waiting on UPS for my heatsinks to get here. And Amazon screwed me over my double sided tape won’t be here until Thursday.

I bought a 3 pack of black heavy duty 3 foot extension cords from Amazon for like $8. They would probably work, too.

Yep as long as it’s fairly heavy cord with 3 prongs you should be good. How many drivers are you running on it? I can’t remember and I wouldn’t put a bunch on a single power cord. Yeah I ordered my tape last Tuesday from Amazon they didn’t ship until yesterday. I was so mad i have cussed they’re support people up one side and down the other over it. They wouldn’t let me cancel the one item that was holding up shipment which made me even more angry.

Yea that is bull. I noticed they sent all my things in bundles. Got like 3 seperate multi package boxes . But that farking sucks. And just one. The 185.
Yeah exactly what happened. So Friday I asked why it hadn’t shipped was like 8 items I ordered. They said oh one item is out of stock. I said ok cancel that one. They said can’t do that because it’s in “advanced shipping” so I said how the hell is it shipping if something out of stock. They said oh it’s here now will ship tomorrow. I said ok. Then it didn’t ship Saturday so I called them again told them to F off and cancel it all. They said can’t it’s still shipping. I said ok I’ll call my credit card and cancel payment on all of it. Finally got shipping notification Sunday night. I’ll go find the stuff here if I have to. The nerve to tell me I can’t cancel something that hasn’t shipped after repeatedly lying has me so mad I might still cancel the payment.

I see you now you showing out for less and an awesome build you have done.
Also Wally World or Home Depot sell little plastic clips to stick to the aluminum and keep wires from dangling.
