IDE to USB?
You'd mount the drive in an external drive enclosure. It's pretty simple to

www.newegg.com is where I usually go to see what's available. Unfortunately,
they don't ship to the UK. However, you...

The blurry/overexposed pictures make it difficult to tell. (This is intended

My dream PC - AsusP5K-E, where's my mouse port?
I don't own that mainboard, but I'd expect it to be able to detect a USB

Looks like the 9800GTX is a full-length (10.5") card as well. It'll fit in
an Antec 900 case, although you may have to remove the fan from the back of

Things may be a bit cozy in...
