VolcomPimp Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Bah I havn't been talkin on the forums in a long long time, but I still check em every once in a while when I get a chance so to let ya know first off I'm still alive... 2nd, I've run out of power cords it seems, and Im gettin tons of stuff from my brother, like 5 scsi hard drives and a jaz drive, an old emachine and a 200mhz server... plus lots of other crap... but I have 3 hard drives I want hooked up right now I have 2 use my raid connections as IDE3 and 4 to do so ( I dont use IDE raid anyway...) and I was gonna install linux (again) on my 6gig maxtor... so I stole a powersupply from another comp and I want to place it inside my tower somewhere, and see if I can possibly make it so I press the tower button for power and turn on both power supplies.... is this possible? if so what do I need to do or buy? thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Ya.. it would be possible, but would require some electrical work... As far as how it would need to be done, it's been far to long since I last did any real electronic work... I'll see if I can find something for you tho.

Ronin Posted August 6, 2002 Posted August 6, 2002 sounds like you could get some power spliters.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolcomPimp Posted August 6, 2002 Posted August 6, 2002 I was thinkin that, but I didnt know if they existed and how much they cost... are they effective? or is there a way to convert other unused cords to this type of connector?

Ronin Posted August 6, 2002 Posted August 6, 2002 they are effective as long as you have enough power to run the device. They;re like 2 bucks a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
