Default making psu wires longer

okay i just bought my new psu, and my case is coming in tomorrow... and i'm pretty sure the wiring is not long enough to reach from the psu to the mobo... the tower is 22 inches tall, so i'm pretty sure it won't reach....

case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811196006

psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159009

i'm pretty positive it won't reach, and i read you could just add wire, or change or whatnot, how would i go about doing that?? .. i'm pretty sure i'd be voiding warranty doing so

but ya, any help anyone? any other ways of doing this without having to change the psu wires??

it should be long enough to reach ur mobo cuz the PSU will always be right above the motherboard
