So, what’s in the garage if the bike is parked in the living room? : )

A BMW Z3 3.0 and an Audi TT MKII 2.0 TFSI S Line Quattro S Tronic Coupé.

very nice work and attention to detail

normally I'm extremely hostile to power supply guts swaps, but it seems you actually did a good job with that too

With this system I can understand the swap ..I too would be very cautious about using a unproven or even a proven AT PSU with such rare parts, at least this way the PSU internals are new.

Hence It's always important to test the voltages before you do anything!

A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!

the price is out of this world, but i wouldn't even sell my setup for anything less.

Thats probably the first slot-1 board I've seen in the wild since I got mine.

I feel bad for saying it, but the seller should have found a yellow/gold wave table card. ^.^

new != better

In power supply terms, new is almost always better. Provided you aren't buying CHEAP new stuff.

The OVP/OCP on new supplies is light-years ahead of anything that was available "period correct". To say nothing of efficiency and voltage regulation.
