I have 2. Neither enjoy operational status presently. But give me time. I have to buy a friends some beer this weekend. So he'll be more inclined to help me.

I don't think I need much help.at this point in actuality. I was concerned about powerimg 1 board with 12vdc alone. 16 pins, half are grounds I guess (not ATX). I'm thinking I have to open a p/s up and build a custom harness off of some point in there. There may not (or may?) be enougj 12vdc wires.coming off a standard atx connector. But them again I guess I can utilize.other connectors? But it may depend on how many rails there are.

No one seems to ever know what I'm babbling about. Moat things I have to figure out on my own.

🤣 🤣 🤣

Sooooo...55 is the new "boy"?

My neighbors hate me. I'm not that quiet. I haven't cussed any out in a while though. But I am presently storing up wrath...

You needn't worry. I have a 1600watt power supply. Oh I didn't mention the one boatd needs 1600 watts? Well that's with all 4 130 watt cpu's installed. A stack of hard drives. etc. I'm hoping I can test it out for the first time with 800 watts.

"The badly burned body of the resident was found huddled over a large stack of vintage PC parts. Those parts were deemed "tested and working" and will be available on Ebay later today."

Tested by who in tarnation??

And did I really exhibit that much valor in death? I protected my vintage crappola at the expense of my own body? Never knew I was quite the Knigjt in shining armor.

Any man who charges into battle with the unknown PSU is an honorary knight.

You didnt know what you faced but you and your trusty screwdriver valiantly faced off against the Dragon PSU and ... died in a fire.
