Re: [H] PATA (and maybe SATA) to USB and/or Firewire connector...
I use one of these http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=2020&cat=CBL&cpc=CBLbsc lopaka Hey, It seems like I am always having to hook up someone's HD to my system to image it or pull data off of it. I am tired of opening my case up, disconnecting one of my drives, and hooking theirs up. What I am looking for is some type of PATA/SATA to USB converter that does not have a case or anything like that. I just want to hook up the drive temporarily. Can any one recommend a good connector? Thanks, Bobby
Re: [H] PATA (and maybe SATA) to USB and/or Firewire connector...
Yup, I have one just like that, but different brand name on it. Works well and I use it for laptop drives almost every week. :) I even used it to burn to a DVD drive once using a WinPE CD to Ghost my newly built PC. Worked like a charm connected to a Lite-On DVD/CD/RW drive. >>> >> >>NewEgg is currently out of stock, but I really liked this adapter: >> >>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812119018 >> >> Harry >>> >>> Thanks, >>> Bobby >>> -- JRS<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please remove **X** to reply... ...Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult...

Really strange. Neither shift keys work on a new laptop I got. CAPS LOCK will produce capitals but pressing and holding the shift key does not.

Re: [H] PATA (and maybe SATA) to USB and/or Firewire connector...
I've been thinking of getting one of these too, as I have zillions of old HDs lying around or I'm trying to wipe one and reload, etc. These would be a lot easier than openning up an external case to remove one HD to put in another. I think Cyberguys sells one similar to this one, though I have not used it (I don't have one yet).

RE: [H] PCIe video power requirements
OKay. But, I'm still using AMD TBirds and do not know much about all the new classes of cpu. And, I thought most of the power for the cpu is derived from the regulator circuitry on the mainboard(?) not as direct feed from the psu. All my current boards have very heavy duty power type circuitry mounted around the cpu sockets. Hmm. Many need more investigation. Clearly, we may be in a turn where vid cards are forcing higher wattage psus. I run 550W psus now; up from 300W psus back in 1996. I'd hate to think that the new 2007&beyond minimum is going to be 1KW. Might as well just build radio transmitter cabinets! LOL!

Re: [H] Consumer reports smokes crack
Certainly they are essential! Second battery? If used in tandem prolongs run-time or at least protects your battery investment since neither batt has to be deep cycled thus causing less wear. 3rd or 4th make no sense as they have no shelf life. Case? Of course you need a case unless your not moving the laptop. Spare PS? If it's a Dell, you can be damn sure you'll need one since the strain reliefs tend to go killing the PS not to mention the convenience of being able to unplug & go with a spare in the above mentioned case! Mouse is debatable depending on taste & need, but my touchpad & pointer mice drive me nuts. The $$$ amounts on these as quoted is dubious, but likely MSRP (Manf. suggested ridiculous price)! ;-) Thane Sherrington wrote: > In the latest Consumer Reports here in Canada, they have a blurb on "The > hidden costs of a new laptop" - "Don't for get to add in the prices of a > padded carrying case ($50 and up), extra battery ($100-$200), spare > power adapter ($80 and up) and usb mouse ($30.)
