Hi
I’m about to buy a new PSU to my rather old computer, because I need a more silent one. I think my choice will be a Zalman ZM360B-APS. There’s one big issue though. The power supply connector to the hard drive (and the cd/dvd?) on the Zalman PSU is S-ATA style and I have a Parallel ATA (IDE) hard drive. I’ve found adapters from S-ATA to IDE (i.e. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/SATA_Cables.html ) but I need the completely opposite and that doesn’t seem to exist. Is there a way to solve this? And if it is, are there any more possible PSU/mother board issues to look out for?
The computer in question:
Mother board: MSI MS-6511 (2 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 CNR, 2 DIMM, Audio, Video)
Processor: AMD Athlon XP, 1600+, 1400 MHz
RAM: 640MB SDRAM
Graphic card: Sapphire Radeon 9600 (a AGP card)
Hard drive: Western Digital (parallel ATA) 160GB
Regards
Petter
