Xbox power supply cable for DockStar

[jgirot]

Hi Everybody,
I'm new to the board and have some interesting stuff to share. I got a couple Dockstars a few months ago and have been doing some fun stuff with them. Specifically, I wanted to post about how I am using an old Xbox power supply to power my Dockstar and a couple hard drives. I'm up to 2TB, powered off the Xbox power supply, and it all fits into the original Xbox case. It's just 2 external hook-ups, ethernet and power cord. Take a look at my blog post and tell me what you think.

As for me, i just taken the 4 pin connector from an old cheap mouse and it fitted perfectly.
So if you have a spare mouse and need a serial connection, that could be the way to go, instead of buying xbox connectors.
Although i may just be lucky to have mouse with that kind of connector.

Very cool. It is really neat when people can take old stuff and make good use out of it. There ought to be a site where everyone can post stuff like this. Do you all know of something of the sort?
