ATX PSU conversion

[mantisspider]

Hi Guys

Im at the point where i need more power in my trusty A1200.
My case doesnt have enough space for a internal AT PSU. So i only have two options, build my own external PSU from an old AT PSU and cutting up an old Amiga PSU for the connector. OR (which the option I want to go for. Convert one of the ATX external PSU things:



The only problem is that AT power supplies had a little button but ATX power supplies dont. Any ideas how I can get an ATX power supply to work on an Amiga? I googled but google hates me and just showed me A3000 tower conversion with no help on ATX powersupplies.

Cheers guys.... u the best :-D

@Cycloid
Dude do you have any decent step by step info like Gutjahr's page? I cant see clearly how u did urs. Would be nice to see different ways of converting. Cheers m8
