Been looking at using a USB flash or other flash drive for main OS boot in a HTPC, and wondering what the best option is for mounting this and connecting to the motherboard.
Ideally I need a short USB header -> USB socket cable, but I can't find any NZ suppliers.
Another option are flash drives that can be directly MB mounted, but again I can't find anyone in NZ.
Next are IDE -> Flash converters, but this would raise the cost quite a bit.
Last option is fitting a USB based flash card reader that I can mount on the motherboard, but this would probably take up a hard drive slot for mounting purposes. Anyone know of a good alternative.
