Hey guys, I am looking to build a sleeper out of my Dimension 4600, but the power button and audio are both proprietary. I need a 5.25 inch adapter with all the goodies, but I can't for the life of me find one with a power button built in. Does anyone know of one with such a feature?

Been a long time since I worked with one of those - are those things actually proprietary, or are just the ends? As in - can't you clip off the connectors from the wires and splice on new ones?

Often you can just depress the tab, pull the pins and re-arrange them.

That's more or less what I meant - I've just worked on some cases that have all or some of the pins combined in on block connector, so that can't be rearranged - in which case, you'd have to splice on new ends to them

I could try and cut up the adapter until the plastic will fit normally.
