Ok the project is now complete and running. I have had the power supply active for a couple of hours and it didn't melt down or blow the A1200, so all is well.

Here is a couple of pictures to whet the appetite a bit.

what about laptop atx psu's then? wouldnt it be easyer to do that instead of this, just change the plug on the laptop atx psu and your go...

They pop out between 18 - 21v and they are wired totally different and are not ATX.

To use a laptop external PSU you could use a PicoPSU and an external regulated +12v PSU. That way you could get +12v directly and +5v and ATX power from the PicoPSU (but it would probably be more expensive).

I used the PSU from external USB HDD to power CD32; it has +12V and +5V, 2A each.
It worked, BUT the TV screen had some noise on it coming from PSU. ATX is a better choice.
