how would you like to come to Maine and re-wire my machine? Mine is currently a little cleaner than your first pic, but not much. Of course I have both my optical drives on seperate ide cables and still have the ancient FDD hooked up. I'm never getting rid of my floppy, NEVER!!!!
ok, maybe I'll stick a card reader in when I rebuild since intel has pretty much phased out PATA (my poor optical drives) and the FDD connector is always out in the middle of no where on new mobos.
