A4000D PSU upgrade
« on: March 02, 2004, 02:39:13 PM »
I need more power, and the 145 Watts old PSU can't feed the power hungry peripherals: All the modern HDs have a ~10 watt requirement, and the older ones is hard to find, or it isn't a good idea to get a second-hand one.

What are the alternatives?
-Get an A4000D specific PSU (if exists one?)

-A DIY PC-PSU, but there are some issues... Just think of the "rod" to the power on/off switch :-)

I'd like to read from you who have done such an upgrade.

Please make a how-to, with photos and stuff... That would be interesting, I don't want to change the case in favor of a nameless ugly tower-box :-( .

@patrik

Zorro slots:
-CyberVision 3D & scandoubler
-X-Surf Ethernet
-Algor USB

CPU card:
-CyberStormPPC 060@50, 604e@150

Storage Devices:
-Seagate ST32122A 2.1GB
-LG CDROM 52x
-Cumana external floppy drive

Peripherals:
-USRobotics Sportster Flash modem @56kbps
-Canon BJC-4300 printer
-MagPlip Lan (A600) :-D

That's all (I think so), but the main problem is the harddisks: when I tried to add the old 130MB Segate that came with the mobo, it started to make strange noises (clicks) when powered-on (cold boot). I had to unplug the power from the CDROM and let the 2 HDs alone in order to transfer the files.

The disks draw much power on "power on" to start spinning the motor (lots of amperes), and continue to do so when active or idle...
