[vXxH2KxXv]

Tools and equipment that you will need:

- a sata data cable
- a sata power cable
- (instead of buying each separately i bought a sata data and power cable)
- wire
- electrical tape
- soldering iron
- solder
- t10, t9, t8,& t6 screw bits
- 360
- 360 hdd
- hot glue and hot glue gun or something of this nature
- and above all, PATIENTS
First, Get your HDD, t6 and t10 screw-bits, and your sata power and data cable Then, you need to locate these screws and unscrew them with your t6 bit here is the drive without the screws then you have to unscrew these screws with a t10 screw bit this is what it looks like when the metal bit is off here is the hdd when its out of the case i tested to see it the cable i was using fit
yes it its
this is the mess i have made after taking the 360 case appart. i am not going to tell you how to do this because its simple and its in a tut on here already. This is the power side
this is the data side there are seven pins on the outside, pin #7 is on the side where the drop is located in this pic
I cut the data side where i showed you above and found 8 wires. i twisted the 2 middle wires together. i then made sticky things to label the wires. numbered 1-7. remember 7 = the drop! Image courtesy of firestorm make some lables then i cut the molex side off and cut down the yellow and black wires which are 12volts and its -. the red and black are 5 volts and its -. these are what the hdd will use. this is where to solder on the bottom side of the motherboard under where the hdd normally connects. pin # 14 isnt used so DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING TO IT!!!!!!!. pick one 5 volt and one -.
this is what mine looked like once i was done soldering. i used brown for positive and red for the negative.sorry about that.
this is where i ran the wire
I had to cut the little prong on the left side of my fan so that the fan could fit in. this is where i would place it if i where you place it between the two red lines i highlighted there we go i am done. thank you for reading and i hope you do this and are successful. if it works for you, feel free to post your pics and suggestions!

remember make sure that no 2 points are bridged or bad things can happen.
