I never knew building one of those small miniATX boards/Case would be such a hassle... Well, I was about to put the last part in today, the slim DVD drive, then I hit a problem, I have no SATA power cables that will fit, and the drive didn't come with any, so what do I get? I'm thinking it will have to be a 4pin molex power connector adapter, gimme some help please folks? Cheers! EDIT: Is this what I need? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-ak-cb050-sata-cable-for-slimline-opticals-%28sataplusmolex-to-mini-sata-power-and-data%29 Link to comment
