Just don't use it on the hard drive power connection. You can use it fine on a CD-ROM drive or one of your fans.

yeah its going on my CD, why cant you use them on the HDD?

Probably because it shares the power between the two items and HDD needs a fair chunk of power.

But I'm just guessing.

You're right...the hard drive draws a lot of power at boot up and you don't want any kind of power flux to interfere with that process. It's good practice to keep the main boot hard drive by itself on it's own power cable.

Tandy should carry those if they still exist in the UK as parts houses.
