Power Supply Question
« on: September 15, 2008, 10:36:45 AM »
I have been looking at power supplies and I notice that they are not listing an IDE connection for a hard drive.

typical listing of connectors..
1 x Main connector (20+4Pin)
1 x 12V(P4)
1 x 12V(8Pin)
6 x Peripheral
4 x SATA
1 x Floppy
2 x PCI-E

Am I missing something here or can you get a converter for SATA to IDE power supply?

Me:  Darling wife, I need a new power supply for the computer, this one broke.

Boss:           Why, so you can play "that damn game" ?

Me:       Yes, I need to occupy my free time, somehow.  Either that or we Have sex more often  :devil

Boss:  Just make sure you use the business credit card, and keep the receipt.

Damn, I guess I'll never be a comedian.  I guess you didn't even chuckle, huh?

BTW, I've been meaning to tell you.......

If we spent as much time with bedroom Olympics as I did flying, she wouldn't be able to walk.  Not even to the car to get to work.  :devil
