| 358537 | 2005-05-26 00:58:00 | how fragile are they? i have one pluged into an old computer and the connector its plugged into is parallel to the mobo, and there are lots of connectors around it, which is preventing me from easily removing it. i just dont want to tug it too hard by the cables and break it. |
