If you're like me and wish to keep your desktop A1200's original cuteness (i.e. don't want to tower it) but still want to upgrade it a little, the standard PSU is a problem. Once I acquired a 68040/25 accelerator (along with 64Mb RAM, 4Gb 2.5" HDD and 3Com ethernet), the A500 PSU I was using couldn't handle it. I ended up getting my hands on a converted PC PSU. Actually, I have two A500 PSUs but they were both pretty old and needed replacing. So I say get your hands on an old PC AT PSU (<486 or early Pentium) I think are easiest to convert. I know it's pretty simple, does anyone have the instructions (for laymen like me) for converting an PC AT PSU to a standard plug for A500/A1200? I've got two lying here I need to convert.

Ahh, this is what I was looking for:
ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/hard/hack/ExtraPower.lha

This one is only for AT PSUs not ATX. There are other instructions for working on ATX PSUs, of which seem cool cause you can poweroff your machine through software.
