    I’m building a HTPC in an Antec Fusion case which comes with a built in PSU. The PSU has loads of molex power cables but has only one SATA power cable (which has 2 connections on it, both male I think). I’m using this power cable for my 2 SATA HDDs so need to more SATA connections to power my DVD drive. I’ll hopefully be able to pick it up in Maplins or Peats today.

    Would something like this which seems to connect to a 4-pin molex cable and give 2 SATA connections be the right thing for me to go for?

    Thanks Anti,

    Do you reckon places like Harvey Norman or PC World etc would stock these cables (just trying to find a place that would be handy to pick it up this afternoon - working in Sandyford so don't want to head into town unless needed)?
