slipk487 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 im guessing you not going to need the 20+4 connector on the second psu. now i dont remember which 2 wires they are but the the 20 pin connector there are 2 wires that can be connected with something metal or create a switch with a wire attached to the to pins and that would allow you to turn off the second psu on or off.

eyeball Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 thanks for that, i know all about that and how to create my own. The thing is i really do not wanna go down the DIY route as the pc i will be implementing this in is on 24/7/365 and i am worried it could become a fire hazard.thanks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipk487 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 as long as there is no exposed wires or leeway for electrical ark then it should be fine. i think the best bet if you are going to do it your self is to cover the 20 pin plug with electrical tape and tap directly into the wire and seal up with electrical tape.

IcemanND Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...oducts_id=21193Google: ULT40011 you might turn up someone in your area.I personally used the do it yourself method on an old Dell Gxa a number of years ago and ran it like that for almost 2 years without a problem. Nothing like running a PII 300 with 4 cd/dvd, a zip, and 8 hard drives attached. Made for a mess of cables coming out of the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
