I need another sata data cable in order to hook up my dvd drive with my mother board and I was wondering where I can get one? Or do I actually need that cord or just the one connecting it to the psu? Also, I was wondering what are the different methods that I can use to get internet into the desktop I am building?Thanks,Rob
You need both: One to transmit power (peripherals 4p), and one to transmit data (SATA). Get an Internet access? Well this you to get a broadband contract from ISP's.
Radioshack or Microcenter(if you have one around) or Best Buy might have the cord. It's pretty hard to find computer parts in physical stores. Also you can get internet into a desktop using a wired connection that wires into the back of the computer using ethernet cable. For this you'd need a modem that is connected to the internet, you then run the cord from the modem to the computer. Almost every computer has atleast one built in ethernet connector. You could also get a PCI or USB wireless card if you have those slots availible and run a wireless network.
