I need a right-angle kettle connector to feed into the power supply on a
tower PC.

All the ones I can find (one of which is in my "box of a million un-used
leads") are such that looking at the kettle socket the "D" looks like a
"D", and the cord then points towards the floor. What I need is one
that's 180 degrees rotated so that the kettle socket looks like:

.... and the lead points towards the floor, not the ceiling.

eBay. Plenty of leads. Just search for "right angle kettle lead" and you'll
see ones that deviate to the side or to the floor.

I have tried eBay and Amazon (and others) and all have the same [wrong]
sort that I already have. Do you have an eBay item number for one that
isn't like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/90-Degree-...ead-Connector-
Plug-Right-Angle-Re-wireable-/290960364349

(Doesn't have to be re-wirable, a moulded one would be fine).

They are American, so you either order one from America and pay the
extortionate postage, or turn your PSU unit over and use a UK one

That's amazing, I've just looked through all the Google images and not
one is what you want. I guess the specification only allows one
direction, maybe for a kettle with spout pointing left to suit a right
handed person, to ensure the lead goes away from you towards the mains
socket on the wall at the back.

eBay never ceases to amaze me when you want bits like this - it's the
best use for it IMHO.

A few months ago I was after a similar 'odd' gadget after reorganising
my office - the scanner wouldn't fit in the space I wanted it to because
of the USB "A" cable pointing straight out. Ebay quickly provided a new
version with the cable at 90 degrees to the plug, pointing towards the
wall as I wanted it; although every other permutation could be had. £2
delivered from Hong Kong? What's not to like...

I know. I was expecting at the very least some sort of 80:20 variation,
but 99.999:0.001 (or whatever) is really unexpected.

Alternatively unclip/unscrew the mating half in the computer and refit

It's very well ensconced in a modular power supply I'm afraid. Otherwise

No, because in one direction it'll be well outside the footprint of the
PC, and in the other direction (if the mirror image is available) the
connector will be straight in front of the main fan exhaust.

I vaguely remember RS doing one where the connector part could be mounted in any of the 4 possible orientations in the cable shell.
