The one on the right. Basically I want to have my 4 (3) HDD's outside my PC case to lower the ambient temperature inside.
 
Ah Ha! - it also only needs two molex connectors needed instead of four, one for each drive. WOO!

Found it for about £60 in the UK. :)

Only problem is two of my WD320GB drives are PATA, so i'm gonna have to sell 'em on here and switch them to SATA. :(

At least they'll be hot-swappable though in case I want to take one in the shower with me. :D

Noice cavemonac, very resourceful and for £1.50 your looking at a job well done!

How do you get the data from those drives to your motherboard though?
Is there a really long cable? I'll have to look into that PSU mod.
 
Wow, sounds definitely do-able. Got a few things to think about before I decide to take the DIY route or not.

Thanks again cavemanoc, great detailed review on your mod. I'm sure it'll help a lot of others suffering from HDD over-expansion, or in my case overheating HDD's.
