You can leave it attached however you have it. Adding the 3-pin to 4-pin adapter creates an additional 3-pin power outlet without losing any other connections.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
By the way, do you think 140 deg. for the HD is to hot???

140 is too hot for my comfort, although it is still probably within specs.

Bottom line...the cooler you can make any electronic device run, the longer it will last.

Anybody know of a way to cool it down or is 140 deg. not a problem??

My box has a 120 gig WD drive, 5400 rpm, 2meg cache, - no xtra fans - cpu is at 139-141 degrees idling - if you're getting 140 degrees with a 7200 rpm drive you're doing great... -
