replace power suppply with pc p/s

Post by brendz »

one of my new astrocity power supply crapped out. is it possible to mod a pc power supply to power the cab/jamma harness. are there any tutorials floating around?

hi brendz,

Long time matey.

AFAIK the issue with using the PC PSU is that you can't mod the +5 - that's whay I've avoided using one for this application.

Others may well chip in with further info though.
