[mythtvnz] Looking for parts for my HTPC build

[Geoff]

Hmmm $68 plus shipping - dealexteme sell the same stuff for under a 1/3 of that, normally takes around a week for delivery to NZ.


CF to SATA adaptors, Some of them come with 2.5 form factor cradles.

Are you reusing an old CF card? If you're going to go a buy a new one you might be better off with a SDHC/SD to SATA adaptor than using CF.
Class 6 SD cards are cheap and fast

SD Card to SATA adaptors (there may be more of these.. I gave up searching)

Why not replace both of those with this:

http://www.pacificdistribution.com.au/product.php?productid=16183&cat=1850&page=1

It's a CF to SATA adaptor in a 2.5" form factor.

I haven't used it personally, but  have used other products from this 
distributor.
