    cm 690, power led issue

    well this seems to be a broad issue with coolermaster cases but i just got the 690 and the power led connection is not 3pin but a joined 2 pin, any ideas on how to get it to fit 3pin size? my p5n-d uses 3pin setting with a blank middle, cm still yet to email me back when i emailed them few days ago. IS it possible to pop the pins out and use a 3pin plastic casing? if so would it void warranty etc? or any better ideas?

    Thanks.

    don't see why a little modding would do any harm.
    however I found these at Maplin
    Maplin > Colour Single Pin Interconnect Cables
    they should work a charm.

    Re: cm 690, power led issue

    might pop in maplins and look later, thanks for mentioning them. Just another question regarding something else, i was thinking of getting another hard drive perhaps the same model i have now, any1 care to explain in short how does raid really work? i know its increaseing performance etc but would i be better off just buying a hard drive and using as normal? thinking of using this hard drive purely for backing up and perhaps saves when i fill my other 250gb up. Would there be a benefit of having the same drive? 250aaks wd or should i get a different one say a samsung?

    thanks.

    For the power LED, the cheaper option is to cut the connector in half and attach it separately to the pins, it worked for me.

    No idea about RAID though.
