When I recently moved I did not really do the best job of packing some stuff and I ended up breaking the switch on my apower PS...
My A1200 was up and running on a Bigfoot PS with really noisy fan :(
I have an extra apower but it has a CD32 connector, and I did not want to convert it... seems like a waste.
I was looking for a switch to replace the one in my apower but the only one I could find in my junk was 10 amp, but I had an idea.
I decided to put the apower guts in my stock A1200 PS.... My A1200's power supply is a 220 for the UK anyway. (that got me thinking, and just for a laugh I had to Google image UK iPhone charger... nice... )
Actually everything fit together pretty well and I did not permanently alter anything so both units PS units can go back to their original state.
This actually might be a pretty cool mod if I can find enough room to mount a USB port to power stuff... I'm pretty sure I can do it but I may have to solder the power cable directly to the apower circuit board to free up space. Otherwise this is sort of pointless as the apower smaller and nicer looking :)
What do you think?
