Thanks Doug, but the parallel combo gets me closer. That said, i just ordered a 50pk of 1% MF for $2 shipped.

I traded my '09 Accord in last week for the same thing only 2011... the sales guy (who I like and have dealt with for a couple of years now) saw my custom Mogami cable I had made for my ipod to the Aux jack in the other car, and asked where I had gotten it. When I told him i made it, he asked me if I could make him one for his iphone to an aux jack. After doing a bit of reading, i realized that he would be better served with a dock cable. Since I had a spare dock connector around, and some Canare, I decided to go that route. Hence the need for the resistor, but also didn't want to order something from Digikey or Mouser.

Anyone have a PCB mount SATA connector (through-hole, 7 pin vertical) or suggestions where I might be able to find one locally (Chicago)? Got a motherboard with a broken one.

Something like this:

I’m after some Xicon 442K’s, these if anyone has spares I need 12pcs...

Otherwise I’m off to mouser to get my ass smacked for 40 bucks delivery...

[johnwmclean]

^ found these, all good now.

[guzziguy]

I haven't bought from Mouser yet, but it looks like a recommended strategy is to buy 2 or 3 examples of every part the BOM calls for.

[spritzer]

Those of us who are truly insane just buy everything in multiples of 100...

[Pars]

I used to get 10 of everything when the price breaks made it attractive. SMD stuff in the 100s though.

[johnwmclean]

... it’s a wonderful strategy

so long as the multiplies aren’t the wrong part

tee hee...

so long as the multiplies aren’t the wrong part

I've never done that! >.>
