I'm dealing with the same issue.  I have 2 rack cases of 3 rows of
modules in the works.  To save space in the front I want to mount the
PS in the back, but even though the rack isn't very deep very few modules
in the front will be close enough to the PS to be able to connect using 
the default wiring.

How is everyone else doing it on those big Synths Of Doom I keep seeing
in pictures?  Are you wiring your own extra-long cables?  Are you daisy
chaining extension connector blocks?
