Before you go back to CompUSA, find a store that sells common sense, and stock up.

OF COURSE NOT.

They make the pinouts different FOR A REASON.

You're not gonna get warranty service either.

Is this a parody thread?


If so, aren't you supposed to link to the original thread?


Is the original thread even in ATOT?
