Nice:D

It seems you didn't have need to build the pass-through cable in the end. The WitchDoctor cable is a good find;)

Yea i ended up building me a witchdoctor Cable.. found a perfect 16 pin cable (the witchdoctor is 14pin) out of an old dell GX150.

The witchdoctor cable was a little odd in that i had to "Add" the pins to one end of the cable but ended up desoldering the pins from the GX150 controll board and they worked out great.

just incase i find an another PUre3d II i made a long SLI cable too.
