      Question Ran Out of Power Leads - Help!

      Basically I've just picked up the Pioneer A05 DVD Writer opened up my PC and realised that all of my power cables have been used (CD Rom & Writer, 2 HDDs, & floppy). My question is, is there a way of connecting something to one of these plugs giving me more plugs (same principal as yer common household gang socket). If not, any suggestions (pref not involving disconnecting the power from my CD drive or CD Writer)
      Thanx in advance for any help

      There are adaptors readily available at PC stores for your problem.They connect to existing plugs from the power supply.

      First of all to solve your problem you could send your new Pioneer A05 to me....yeah, I know it's big of me but I'm that kinda guy

      Or.....you could get a power lead splitter. A socket on one end and on the other 4 power plugs and a one for the floppy drive. Should cost you about $5 at the most.

      yep

      You can easily connect a CD and floppy to one lead. I guess PS problems will be next. I am SURE amount of leads is a GUIDELINE!
      I finally got the two ends to meet. Now I see I have two more ends to work with.
