if that power cable connected to the hard drive in the second pic is the standard sata power cable then yes there is another one of those thats not being used.
and does it matter where i plug the drive into the motherboard?.. it seems like the connectors are color-coded four different colors for a reason..

hp 'personal media drives' run about $140 for a 160gb, whereas my 500gb only costs $125. you're basically forced to pay that much cause its the only drive that will fit in there, what a joke.. oh well, i'll MAKE my 500gb fit! and theres the hp camera dock on top of the case also.. i use it to dock my ti-84+ instead, haha.
