alright.. i have an idea and i wanna ask you guys before i do it to make sure theres nothing i'm overlooking. i want to do a relitively simple mod, i have 2 harddrives in my server i use for backup, not storage. so those 2 drives are not connected to my ide and power cables very often. the problem is, when i do need to backup, i have to open up the server and reconnect everything. my thought was that i could just take a single molex line from the psu, and take every wire through a diff switch, so when i needed the drives i put all 4 switches on, when i didnt need them, i put all 4 switches off. i would of course have to shutdown before i flip the switches but thats no problem. so is there anything special i would have to do to the wires or can i just run them through a switch like i would anything else, and also, any good ideas on being able to turn on/off all 4 switches at once with a single switch?thanks-The_Nerd
