i'm pretty sure you may have thought about it but.... why not use a "coupler/connector" or whatever you call it???

It's possible to make but to hide the wires on the female side could be difficult.

What for.?
A coupler would be the best way to do it IMHO.
You could make one fairly simple with a Keystone connection that normally goes in a wall plate....just dont put it in a wall plate.
How long are we talking?
I could do that for you ... but like mentioned above... it might not be the cleanest conection.
another idea would be to get a coupler and hardwire it.
are you trying to make a "pig tail" so that you can change a patch wire to a crossover wire?

what I want it for is my lego box. I have the wireless nic for when I am at home and I get a clean looking box, but I was thinking it would be a good lan /show off box as well and there wouldnt be wireless there. so I have a nic installed and just want to have it setup with liek One lego brick missing and the plug in its place so I can just plug in a cable if I want...would do it at home also for faster file transfers. 
so I dont really care how it would look on the inside. jsut a clean looking plug in. so what ya think?

Wire a Belkin punchdown jack to a wire and put a plug on the other end. Looks like this:
FUL1_R6D022-AB5
Should fit in roughly a 2 block space sideway - you'll have to make a mask maybe and glue it in place.
You can get the makings at a well stocked computer store or even Home Depot. I have all the makings if you get stuck - be happy to make one for you.
Frankly it would be easier to buy a female to female adapter and glue that in place since it's a square block and smooth on the sides.

that is exactly like what I was gonna do ... what FP showed.
I have white or orange.
let me know about how long you want it and Ill make you one.
Dont worry about a fee...consider it my donation to the leggo box
Edit: I would dremel off the clip on it (note pic above) and you can fit it in some how.

yea hook me up man. Orange would be cool. 8"-12" nothing major.
mucho thanks guys. I finished the border around the slot dvd earlier today....on a shitty note I noticed the mboard doesnt have the C-media sound like it is suposed to and only has that cappy via stuff. epox will be getting a call on that tomarow. other then that though system has been up and running.
I think orange would be great, I have all my stuff outlined. power button us out lined in white, ekect on the cdrom is blue and the slot is outlined in yellow.
