A new 4000 Desktop Power supply
« on: February 28, 2005, 09:18:30 PM »
Hi all
I'm toying with an idea for a new power supply that can be used in the A4000 desktop. This power supply will be a bolt in so no cutting or hacking is required. Also the power supply will be around 250 watts and will be a smaller profile then the original, so a cd drive will fit in the slot above the floppy.
Any interest?

Hi Patrik
  Thanks for the air-circulation comment. The fan will be on the top of the power supply(about a inch or 25mm from top of case) where the heat is. The original removed air from bottom to middle of A4000 case and most of the time was blocked by ribbon cables.
  I want to hear all suggestion, comments and concerns I'm still in the planning stage.

Hi Brian,
  Yes it will be shorter then the original PSU. The 300 watt electrical board is wider then the 5 inch or 128mm original so I'll half to stick with the 250 watt PSU.
