Hi chaps.
I'm thinking of putting together some bits of kit into something useful, but have hit a stumbling block.
I've got a DL360 (1U rackmount) with a PCI-X 4 port eSATA card in it.
I have access to an enclosure for 4 SATA drives (it's like this) so I can quite happily run some eSATA to SATA cables for the data.
My hurdle is with the power connections; being a rack mounted server I've got no power cables inside that I could potentially re-route outside the case.
If anyone has any bright ideas as to solving this problem (or coming up with a totally different solution) it would be appreciated; I'd quite like to set up the DL360 with some FreeNAS virtual machines on it!
