I had a ribbon cable out but I didn't want to go that route as the Intel mb
had the floppy connector right in back of the power cable and it would have
been a bit of a pain to connect the floppy. I went with one of those
modular RaidMax power supplies this time and the freakin plugin cables are
thick and practically unbendable. Even the SATA power connectors are so
thick they pull themselves off the drives if special care isn't taken
