Hi, If I read this correctly, you need any PC power supply. The AT supply may be easier to use as it can be switched by a DPDT togle switch on the heavy cable with 4 AC leads. Get it right or you blow the circuit breaker on the was outlet. If the supply has an AC switch on the back you could connect the AC leads together paired , again paired correctly, and just use the switch on the back of the PSU. An ATX supply can also be used by putting the switch on the GREEN and any BLACK wire in the 20 Pin connector. Either PSU will have at least 4 or more Molex connectors and you can use any two you like. They are all the same. Another thought: You could also get an extension and plug on to your existing PSU and bring the power out an unused slot in the back of your case. Questions?

Hope this helps a little, Jim

i was thinking of using this for a car PC, so yeah it answered my question,
hmmm too bad PS/2 connectors dont use all the pins, atleast not a keyboard and mouse

If you decide you need an ATX power supply, I have a couple I'm giving away. They were all working pulls, but no guarantees. PM me if interested.

1. Powerman 235w (80mm fan went out, replaced with 60mm fan)
2. Astec 200w, model SA147-3505
3. 250w, model HP-7700, pulled from an HP Pavilion.
