Bay Buss Wiring

[WyrmMaster]

How do you guys have your baybusses wired up. Mine is taped and soddered together, and its a mess, i cant even get my case front off.

Took an old 5.25" single piece drive adapter, epoxied a face plate on, and it sits perfectly in the case front.

My switches are fine, its just the wiring behind them thats a total mess. Do you guys use molex connectors, and if so where do you get them.

I've seem 'em there. But they cost $$.

I just look for tossed out pc's and harvest their power supplies, usually At's. Lots of molex connectors, and other neat stuff...

BTW, I think I am going to save myself the trouble and buy one of those rheobus kits with the cool blue led's.

I went to a local computer store and ask for an old CD and PSU that where dead and they might want to through away. So I got for free. Gutted the CD, epoxied a face plate on and made the bay bus.

For the molex connectors all I could find at radio shack where not the same as they use in the computers. That is why I got the dead PSU. Just cut the connectors off that and it worked great.

Good luck
