A500 PC PSU Conversion: Teaser
« on: November 23, 2007, 04:17:00 PM »
OK, so after surviving a near death experience at the hands of this project. It has come to a climax.

Just a few more steps are required for the finishing touches and then the hard task of writing it all up begins.

Here is a few pics of the conversion. comments most welcome.





I am using an old battered A1200 as the test machine so I dont damage my everyday one!

I can post a guide here, but the main one will be on my site.

I did a google to find out what was required and then modified the psu wireing, and then stripping it out of the case.
