Title: ATX to DC Adapter
Post by: Xukanik on November 23, 2013, 10:46:24 PM
Hello all New member long time reader.

I am looking for an ATX PSU adapter.

I am currently running 2 blades V2 and 7 USB erupters.

I found this a ATX to DC adapter on the Black Arrow website
http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/atx-to-dc-power-adapter.html (http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/atx-to-dc-power-adapter.html)

It is exacly what I need, and only $20 but shipping is $60+ and $80+ is a little out of my price range.

Does anyone know of a similar product sold in the US?
I have searched everywhere with no luck and accidentally found this looking at investing on new rigs.

Why do you need this to run the blades?   short out the green wire on the 20+4 pin connector to ground (any black).  This will make the PSU turn on whenever power is applied to it and the switch in the back is turned on.  Then you can use molex to PCIe connectors, cut the PCIe side off, and run 2 12V+ (yellow) and 2 ground (black) to the blade.    Done.

That is what I am doing now but with this it makes it easier to wire the blades, usb hubs, etc...  Insted of making my own wires to plug in the blades this would make it easy as pi.

Also would make the wiring much much cleaner hide all the other wires and juts have that out.
