hello everyone, im currently building a breifcase computer with parts from an old laptop and a lcd monitor, and decided to put in a temp gauge.
but temp gauges HAVE to come with a molx connector, no exceptions, and my laptop doesnt have any. i need to get an adapter or make a molex adapter to some other power formt, which in turn will let me add other molex powered devices. any tips would be much appreciated:)

There are a few choices really you could use one that goes in a 3.5" floppy bay. A 5 1/4" drive bay (optical drive bay) or seperate.

Here is a 3.5" temperature montior Here (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=88_253&products_id=2707)
comes in silver as well

There are manny 5 1/4" ones to choose from
Here (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=137)

And here is a stand alone one that I recomend Here (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=156&products_id=2449)
Also comes in red

You have to figure out what wires are +12v and +5v and GND and wire them by hand yourself.

Have fun.
