[Ide To Sata Adapter Comparison]

IND BIOS, always says init dvd.Does not effect anything. Boot up time is around 12-15s, I have downloaded new Hexen disc and will be putting M8+ BIOS and run my preferred. setup. This will presumably cut my power needs even further, a pico power supply is in the mail. Hopefully that will work out.

I have had success with the cheap ones. Here is latest with ssd.

[High Quality Diy Component Cable]

This is great, I think I will be attempting this in the near future. Redundant 360 cable lying around will be put to some good use.

Very cool, power supply considerations are most important. 3.3v standby crucial. 0.5a. 5v will have to run you at least 10a, I think 13 is what the power supply should be pushing out. 12v rail is nominal, no DVD no problem, otherwise think 1a. 3.3v should be just under 5a.

Nice work, I always wondered why the M8+ insisted on the DVD. I have removed the DVD on two builds, this is great.
