Need external drive enclosure for SATA drive by
[email protected]
I have a perfectly good SATA drive, and want to use it as an external
drive with USB 2.0 and/or FireWire. But I can't find an enclosure that
accepts SATA drives. They all want IDE/PATA drives. Anybody know if
there's a SATA box out there? Thanks.

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion XE763 that a friend gave me that won't power on.
My first instinct is to check the PSU, but the ATX connector is weird.
