Kit #3 BOM

[hbomb341]

Anyone have the BOM for “Kit #3”?  - I don’t see it in the Wiki.

Now I get it – Picked up a power supply with WAY more power then I need for a few dollar more ($92 when all said and done - You are not allowed to view links.

Bad idea?

I don't have the info for kit #3

But why not just cut one or two or three of the drive connectors and splice your wire in and plug the connectors from the power supply into the second hub. Basically extending the connectors that power up the HD or DVD/CD drives and you already have the connectors on the second hub. That way you are not pulling a lot of amps through the pcb and nothing else to buy.

Just a thought

if you want to hack up the connections from the pc power supply, i'd rather you get a 24pin atx extender cable, then hack that up. that way you still keep your warranty on your power supply

I agree - I would like to keep the warranty.  Plus $5 and some SPT - can't beat that 

THANK's Rick {rrowan}!!!!
