Need help making my own LiveDrive

[ThurzNite]

I have a Diamond MX300. I wanna put a 1/8" jack in a 5.25" faceplace and wire it to output2. Does anybody know the radio$hack part # for 1/8" stereo jack? I can't find it on their site.
2ndly, anybody know of a how-to guide on how to do this easy mod? thanx.

why don't you just get off the computer and drive to the nearest RadioShack

ThurzNite:

I don't have the thread handy right now, but MikeWarrior has built a USB/1/8" drive in his 5.25" bay and has a guide up for it on his website, which I also do not recall offhand. Why don't you private message him and see if he can direct you to the right place. =)

Shu8: I was just there and I couldn't find it. I asked them to find it in the catalog for me but they didn't have one on them.
divinemartyr: I'll do that. Much thanx!

Thanx dood. I went by rs and found the jack. However, it looks really weak. The solder points are just prongs. I'd like to see what others are using for jacks.
