did you first try the mATX psu to make sure it works OK in amiga???
just load OS, with your normal rtg screenmode and try a "heavy" whdload game, like KID CHAOS ECS ... play it a little, _if_ there are probs you will see gfx corruption and eventually a crash...
that is my psu-test-game lol

I used an electrical hand grinder with an INOX cutting disk (because it is thin)


motorolin, try to post a pic and model/make of your good working mATX psu... it will be handy!

or use "hole saws" for metal , they come in different diammeters but are somewhat expensive... u just attach them to a driller or electrical screwdriver



ah, the joys of having a father that owns an INOX works factory....  :lol:

of course, you can cut 2 holes on the 2 edges, and then with the hand grinder connect them...
