The places I have looked for the kingston elite showed they were out of stock so I explored some other options.

I found a new open box CF to sataII that included a Seagate ST1 5gb CF for 20 bucks shipped on ebay.

This adapter has the option to use 3.3v or 5v with a jumper with the source power from a floppy molex (wish it had a sata power inlet).

Didn't know this till I looked it up that the seagate is an actual HDD at 3600rpm with 2mb cache.

I went ahead and purchased a 8gb ST1.2 for 17 bucks to try out too. At these price points I am hoping this works out. I have yet to build the cMP yet but have purchased all of the parts and am just waiting for arrival. Will let yall know how this works out.
