Mac Pro cMP replacement power cable

[pawtracks]

I recently picked up a few (new to me) cMP's and none had the stock white power cord.
The Horror - I know...

Could be my jedi search skills are lacking, but I had a hard time tracking down a white 'square' replacement. Seemed like everything out there is round for an iMac.

Found this on eBay and wanted to pass it along.

No affiliation with seller and I have NOT received it yet.
I'll report back when I do and leave a review.

These are very common plugs - you do not need an official Apple plug. You can use plugs like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Cord-...600009?hash=item1a05de3b89:g:BroAAOSw~gRVlBx5

Sorry my friend, a 12 core requires a white power cable - every true Apple fan knows this /sarcasm
Just trying to help out my fellow OCD cMP users

If you have a quad core, I found this:

This same plug has been used for decades. Pretty sure my Dad's original IBM PC had same cord. Should not be hard to find.

any cable capable which fits will do.

I think he really wants a white one, that looks like the original cable that came with the Mac Pro.

Not often I find people that are more anal retentive than myself, but you Sir take the biscuit!

All you need is basically the correct shape, that's a standard plug, no Apple magic inside, no need to get the Mac Pro specific cable if that will cost much more than a "normal" cable.

Anyway, this is the correct cable (same as mine).

Exactly - if I wanted a cheap ass looking (but functional) Monoprice cable hanging off the back of my Jony Ive beautifully designed "Aluminium" 12 core 3.46GHz, 128GB RAM, dual 1TB SSD RAID0, Nvidia Titan X (from MacVidCards BTW), etc..

I'd buy a Dell

Thanks for all the tips though
