Hey.

What's everybody's opinion on my splicing a couple of device power
cables onto one of the lines that comes out of my 300-W power supply, so
as to let me have up to 5-6 IDE devices (with added controller, of
course; my power supply has only 4 + FDD). It'd look something like
this, below. I know that I can buy the connectors, but I did this on a
Friday night after the new hardware arrived and wonder if I can keep it.
I've secured the splice with twist ties.

Thanks,

jc
