This is my PSU
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...acture=CORSAIR
Interfaces/Ports
Receptacles: 1 x 24-pin ATX Motherboard
2 x 4-pin ATX12V Motherboard
2 x 8-pin PCI-E
8 x Serial ATA
8 x 4-pin LP4 Peripheral Device
2 x 4-pin SP4 Floppy Drive
Does that mean I have 8 x sata power connectors?

^^yep...sure does!
You should be good with the power connectors. Plenty there for another few more SATA devices on top of what you have already!

The other alternatives are:
1) remove 1 existing HD to make room.
2) buy a new DVD drive that is IDE to free up a SATA port.
I would prefer either of these to hooking up an external drive.

The technician obviously said "no way" (in chinese), but the sale guy gave the guy a refund anyways because there was a huge line forming.
But "too fast" and "made of plastic" causing the computer to freeze??? lol
bah...it doesn't sound as funny after I typed it all up, but it was one of things that was funny at the time....the guy walked-in acting like a "know it all", with this weird accent, and hearing the sales guy talk about the issue with the technician in chinese trying not to laugh....

Whoa....wtf a HDD Dock???? HAAAAAAAAAAA. Never knew such a beast existed. Seems like I have a million choices.
Damn.
Options:
1. See if I can squeeze it in the case and plug the HDD in the last sata port
2. Pull out the smallest and replace with 1TB HDD, put the smallest in external case
3. Buy PCI controller
4. Buy HDD dock
5. buy a new DVD drive that is IDE to free up a SATA port
They all run the same price. $30+
Decisions decisions. Damn pr0n takes up too much space....oops....I mean my office documents and stuff.

heh heh
If I was to buy an esata enclosure......then I would need a SATA to eSata cable to connect to the back? Or esata to esata? The ends look the bloody same. I thought it was the same end.
But if I was just hooking up an HDD internally, I would need a SATA to SATA correct?
