          @techdisk42 Clean as in, don't let the wires be all loose and poorly cut. Something could touch it and cause a short circuit.

            @nerthos Lol, oh. I tried to clean it up already using that yellow wire that you see there, but its not really working very well...

                @nerthos So do i. The thing is that is literally the best i can do without getting a bigger table, a breadboard, and a whole bunch more wire. the fact that i have my drives spaced out the way they are makes it really hard to make the wires stay put...

                  @techdisk42 Oh well. Then you'll have to work with that. Also, what's the card? A MIDI one?

                    @nerthos Oh, the circuitboard is called an Arduino Uno; It's pretty much a prototyping board with a microprocessor that can be used to control things. Its also open source :D http://www.arduino.cc/

                      @techdisk42 Interesting. I'll look at it when at electronics practice at uni.

                        @nerthos it's pretty awesome; That thing can control everything from those floppy drives to an LCD touchscreen.

                      @techdisk42 Oh yeah, I found this today, thought it might interest you and your Arduino http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/documentation/tutorials/arduino-3g-gprs-gsm-gps
