Hi all,

I recently bought a Pentium 3 from some guy online.

I noticed that the power supply only have one Molex output, and all the rest are SATA.
The motherboard does not have any SATA inputs (I think the guy mixed new / old hardware to create a functioning PC).

I want to connect more drives (specifically CD-ROM).
What should I do?

You can buy Sata power to Molex converters on Amazon. I recently purchased a couple and they seem to work good, no issues.

Thank you for your answer.
I saw some posts on reddit where people complained about these adapters melting, can you share the link to the adapter you bought?
