You can easily rewire an ATX pc power supply for the PCI mac. You can buy 400-600 W ATX PSUs cheaper than Apple OEM. These pages have pinouts and directions. I used them to put 400 W Ps into several B&Ws and those smurfs are still running strong. But before you go to all that trouble try stuffing all the hardware you can into the Yikes and I bet you won't overload the PSU. I have a PCI G4 with a Sonnet 500 MHz CPU, 2 GB RAM, Radeon 9000 video, ATTO SCSI card, 15K SCSI hard drive, Pioneer DVR and it's all running off the stock PSU. http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ATX_G4_AGP_conversion/G4_AGP_to_ATX_case_pg2.htm http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml
