[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 773095, member: 91446"] I am pretty sure it is this one: [url=http://www.maplin.co.uk/small-narrow-box-1666]Small Narrow Box : Plastic Enclosures : Maplin[/url] To be honest, I don't use this too much anymore. I have moved to a client server setup and don't use the NAS, so I don't need to have a light telling me when the NAS is powered as all my data is on the MP server. I do still have the this box on top of the server though so that I can see the TV card usage at a glance. By the way, I found that the cables which you used to have to use to connect the audio from the CDROM drive to the motherboard work well in place of a COM Port connector. The end that plugged into the motherboard (the 4 pin connector) has the same pin spacing as the COM Port pins, so using 2 of them will give you enough to wire up the three LEDs (clearly it is your own risk to use this method though :-) ) Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
