SATA power/Remove Soft switch

Hi guys.

Two quickies here.

I have looked online and I can't seem to find a Molex to Sata converter in Radio Shack or any other walk-in shop in the NYC area. Any clue?

Second, does anyone know if they sell external power supplies for hard drives and such that do not require a soft-switch coming through the motherboard? If not that, then does anyone know the contacts to short on a PS to make the box stay on?

I am just tryingto get my RAID array updated, but I don't have enough for the 8 drives and system drive (plus, I ran out of adapters). If I can get one more adapter, I will try to just hook it up and see if the PS can handle it. If it can't, then I need MORE POWER, but I would like to just grab an old PS from another machine and hook that up w/o having to carry a full box around.

Any help/direction would be appreciated!

Fat lot of help this was.
