Guys, I could use an advice when it comes to a computer I have in repair here.

 

Some genius brought a computer to me today telling me to connect a CD/DVD drive to it. I thought it's a piece of cake until I opened the case - there are two 2TB SATA hard drives inside and this cheap CD/DVD crap needs to be connected to a SATA port. The problem is there are only two SATA ports on the motherboard.

 

Now, I'm thinking about connecting this thing to a SATA/IDE adapter I have but that's not the thing I want help with, it's the power cable. This case has only two SATA power cables and I don't have a splitter.

 

So, can I just cut the wires and hook up an additional SATA power connector I ripped out of a dead PSU or do I really need to go buy a splitter? I couldn't care less about how long this thing lasts, I just want it to work right now so I can get this guy off my back.

A beautiful day to get bullied.

 

I have an unlucky streak going for 3 days now.

 

>:(

 

I have a few "choice" words for bullies, but am polite enough not to repeat them here.

Oh dont worry about it.

 

85-95% of people here are assholes. Especially in the north where I live, with gypsies insulting everyone around them and living like its their country. They threw f*#@ing food at me today because I have long hair.

God damn primitive monkeys.

A PSU exploded on me once, I dont recommend playing with it. Especially if its a cheap one.

Trust me, I'm an engineer. :biggrin:

 

A PSU exploding in my face wouldn't be nice but then again, I'm suicidal and I don't give a rat's ass. So, cutting the wires it is. :happy:

Nicely put! ;D Bad karma has a painful bite, and no doubt it's headed their way.
