    When I need parts the destination is usually Microcenter in St Louis Park, but it's an 80 mile round trip from Hudson.

    I need an adapter to mount a 2.5 inch drive in a 3.5 inch drive location. Any suggestions for a store on the eastern side of the metro area?

    Thanks.

    Best buy perhaps could have adaptor you need.

    General Nanosystems might have what you need. I don't know of anything closer other than Best Buy.

    I might have one and can check tonight if you wish.

    GNS tends to be worth the pilgrimage anyway. :)

    Have you checked: SCC?

    Shipping isn't horrible as long as you have enough things to order at once from MicroCenter.

    You could try that little computer shop in downtown Hudson. They're Mac focused, unfortunately, but you never know what they may have in the parts bin.
