I have no idea what those letters mean so I have no idea what you are actually telling me.
BTO= Built to order
DIY= Do it yourself
The terms are used for non name brand computers.
What you posted was not 100% correct for computers on the market since for some the power cord from the monitor plugs into the desktop in addition to the video cable.
I haven't seen, IRL, a connector to piggy-back power to the monitor for at least 20 years. I'm not doubting that it exists, but it is definitely a very rare phenomenon.
I'm sorry that I just reread the question. I was in the car (parked in a lot waiting for someone, so don't yell at me) when I originally replied.
If you are wanting to save a spot in the power supply, ignore my previous post. I was thinking you wanted to know if you could use the power cords interchangeably.
If you don't have room in the power supply then maybe get a bigger power supply, or try what the poster above me suggested.
Why? He/she clearly did not read/comprehend the original question correctly, and posted a response that was totally non-applicable. The original question involved the supply of power, not delivery of the video signal. No 'slack' should be given for a dumb response to a years-dead thread, especially when such response is most likely a multi-alias troll attempt to build spare back-up aliases.

I honestly wish people would stop using anagrams.
It is not "cool" to do so!
