Hey guys. Ok so right now I have an LED fan and a cathrode ring from a cathrode fan (not the fan its self) piggy backed on with my Hard drive. I was wanting to add maybe 1 or 2 more mini cathrodes to it, or some El wire. I once heard that you should only put a couple things with it, because you can take power from the hard drive. Is this true? I don't see how it could be true in a PC, because most modded PCs have tons of lights and fans, and I assume all of them are power off of those 4 pin wires? And theres not much differance between a PC and an X-box..so I'd think you'd be able to do as much as you want. I Thought i'd make sure though, before i order all my stuff and find out I cant have it all in there at once.

Also, this is completely off topic but if i were to get 3 feet of El wire, would it be possible to cut it shorter? I've never seen any El wire in person, only in picture..so I have no idea how it works. Sorry if thats a stupid question. Thanks for your time guys!! Appretiate it.

Laters,

See if it works without ur HDD plugged into power, then if it works, connect the HDD back!

Well, the thing is....An xbox has a MUCH smaller output power supply then your typical modded PC's......A normal modded PC usually has a 360-400w power supply, while the xbox is MUCH smaller, because it wasn't designed to have things added onto it, as a true PC is...
