Looks like a floppy drive power supply Red/Black/Black/Yellow

That looks like an ATX power supply - ought to be a socket for it near the (main) socket.

What sort of Motherboard do you have ?

1st one is floppy drive power.
2nd one is 4-pin 12v power (only used on some types of devices)

If you don't have anything to connect them to then simply tidy them up with tiewraps and ignore them.

Hmm, can't find a large enough (clear) photo - doesn't look as though you need it - not all Motherboards have a socket for 12v ATX

Also used in some 64-bit AMD boards from ASUS. Had to ring my board supplier up, like a right numpty, when damned machine wouldn't start, to be told about need for extra 4 pin power plug to be actually connected.

Omelette sur le visage or what?

Fixing computers, fixing bikes. They're both the same. Always a few bits left over at the end...
