    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    It is a very snug fit indeed, but that is exactly enough :) I will post some more pictures in my own post in a bit, showing the fit and the carrier I used for the SSD itself.

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    I live in Norway, so I am much in the same position as yourself. That's why I often go for the cheapest option available, as long as I think it will do the job.

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    I'll get around to some pictures soon. The adapter is the same as this one from Newegg. Sadly the ebay listing is long gone. I bought 5 of them 3-4 years ago, and now I'm considering buying 5 more. Not at Newegg prices though. I think this one on ebay is more or less the same, so I might buy...

    Awesome, at least I'll supply the spuds and the sour cream :D Maybe you can help me get the Cube up and running with Adélie Linux while you're here.

    Question re. buying and selling in Scandinavia

    I'm just curious... should we post under EU? I am asking since Norway (though usually first in implementing EU regulations) strictly speaking is not a member of the EU... Would a sub... forum? Group? for Scandinavia or the Nordic countries (mostly for shipping reasons) be an idea?

    I've never heard of the show, but very often the image of Norwegian food is hyped beyond recognition by excellent marketing companies... It seems very difficult for some of them to comprehend the fact that we are at heart a farming and fishing community and that our food were "designed" to last...

    Adelie help: rage 128 + Xorg = display initialization failed

    I'm thick as a brick... this would have to be done on the boot media, before booting, right?

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    This is what I use in my 450 Cube. Disk: Adapter: The adapter had one very important quality: It was the cheapest one I could find on ebay! I also bought a 2.5" to 3.5" metal carrier/adapter on ebay that worked a treat.
