    Names of wires and cables wanted


    Does anyone know of a website showing photos of the different types of wires and cables used inside a computer? It's easy to find what connects on the outside: USB, ethernet, audio etc. BUT what on the inside things like SCSI, Sata, or the wire that connects to the fan and stuff like that.
    Thanks

    Thank you very much to both of you--truly helpful
    There are 2 missing which from what you've given me I will be able to find nevertheless. Out of my power supply there are cables where the sockets (where cables are 'plugged into'' have different colors and they are all for different purposes. That is what is now missing--knowing the difference (and names) of each.
    thanks again
