HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting?

For starters, I'm a space-challenged apartment-dweller (not the apartment so much, but the shelving for my equipment).  I use Shunyata almost exclusively -- Triton v3/DPC-6 v3/Denali 6000S -- and have been very pleased.  The Triton, which feeds my amps, has a Sigma NR to the mains and Alpha NRs going to the amps.  The problem is that I need to move the PC and I don't have another location with 4-6 inches of room behind it for the cords.  I'm planning to call Shunyata to see if they re-terminate with right angle adaptors, but thought I'd see if anyone has suggestions for high-end cords that don't need a mile of run space behind the PC (and experience using them on a Triton would be a bonus).  Thanks much. 


P.S. I REALLY don't want to use the right angle adaptors if I can avoid it.

Make your own little outlet box to the side.You can buy any bulk wire, even double up on it for the run from wall to box. With a aftermarket plug. After all, the wire in the wall is just 10 gauge or 12 gauge Romex anyway. There are fancy multi outlet machined aluminum boxes on eBay

The Audience AU24 cable is quite flexible and Audience can terminate it with any connector you like - meaning straight or right-angle.

Thought I'd close this thread down to say thx for all the responses and report where I wound up.  For the Shunyata cables going from the wall to the Triton, Shunyata will make (custom order) a C19/20 pigtail that's much more flexible than the Sigma NR cable that goes into the Triton, which should provide a shorter "bend" distance.  According to Shunyata, because it's only 8-12 inches (I haven't received it yet), it shouldn't negatively impact performance by having that between the Sigma cord and the Triton.  Shunyata will not re-term the Sigmas, though (at least that's what I was told).  My amp cords are not Shunyata, so I'm looking at getting them re-term'ed with either Furutech or Wattgate right angle wall plug ends......
