I just got an Aspire TC-1660-UA92 - there is a cable that runs from the motherboard (a straight 6-pin) to the back of the CD/DVD player to supply power - it also has an extra SATA power plug. What would that cable be called and where can I get a second one? There is a place to plug in a second one. I'd like to add a couple internal hard drives and there is only a power plug for one. 

Thanks in advance,

    50.VQED3.001 is the Acer part number... Try searching on that.

    I am not positive, but I believe those six pin connectors are JST. JST has the pins at very close to the same spacing as the 0.100" Molex, but fits those white connectors better. Use a meter to figure out which pins are +5V, which are +12V and which are Ground. There are two of each on the connector, designed to drive the two SATA power connectors.

    Wow, pricy. I could make my own if I know what the white 6-pin end was called. Do you know, billsey?

    Let us know how well it works out... Maybe you can quit your day job and build more of them for everyone else. :)
