Well...I was bored today, so I decided it was a good time to do one of the things I've been planning to do to my rig... add a 2nd power supply.:D
I went to COMPusa and got a 250w ATX psu for 24.95
mounted it on top of my 300w in a Antec full tower, so there was no problem with space:)
connected pin 14 (green wire) and pin 15 (black wire) together on both psu connectors. so pushing the power button powers up both psu's.
the master psu runs the motherboard only!
the slave psu runs all the rest.. hard drives,5 fans,cd-rw,floppy,4 USB devices,etc
so now my CPU and Motherboard have a 300w power supply all their own:beerchug:
