    Re-Usable Masks...It shouldnt be this hard...

    A little hack to hopefully lower my AC bill

    Question Dell PowerEdge R420 Adding USB 3.0

    There is no extra power to add a PCIe usb 3.0 card. So I am thinking of using the 8pin motherboard power and splitting it, so go from 8 pin male ATX to 8 pin Male ATX to connect to MB and SATA Power, but I cannot find any such adapter. Any ideas?
