im wanting to order the M10000, and use the CD&DVD/HDD/FD drives from my old sony vaio laptop...what cables would i need to make this work?

also, i plan on having a 3.5" HD mounted in a location seperate from the mobo, would i have a problem using the ITPS + PW-70a combo available in the mp3car.com store to power all that i have mentioned here, plus a touchscreen?

the PW-70 should handle a couple laptop drives, a touch screen, and an M10000 with no problems...

You can use laptop drives if you use one of these adapters: http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...esktop+adapter

go read the newbie faq stickie in this forum, it details ways to get music from PC to speakers. Basically use the headphone jack with a splitter onto your amplifier.
