Hi, just wanted to ask a stupid question...
I want to install this second HD from my other PC
into my new one but there are no power conectors available.(only 3 I think)
There's one plugged into the master HD, one in the cd-writer,
and one in my dvd rom.
The one power connector that splits into two is connecting the two cd-rom drives, and the main HD has it's own and a smaller one spilts off thats connecting to the Floppy drive, so i'm quessing theres none for my second HD, that sucks.
Can you tell me if I gotta unplug something else and plug it into my second HD.

I haven't worked with micro ATX power supplies, but 180-watts is not very much. I wonder if you should use a beefier power supply with your new configuration. Maybe it doesn't come with more connectors because it isn't designed to power that many devices. These are just things I'm wondering since I don't have any experience with them. In any event, I suppose you could split a connector again. I just don't know how good an idea that would be.
