I have one with a dying Power Supply as well. I've been researching with Google and one guy has a write up where he carves up the existing PS case and install the guts from an ATX PS into it. It looks pretty good when he's done but it's not for the non-technical user to do. I've also seen people just tie strap an ATX into the case and splice the motherboard connector from the old power supply onto it. Not elegant but workable. ATX power supplies don't have the 25 volts needed for an ADC monitor but most people don't use those anyway. If you do need it there is a guy on ebay that sells rebuilt original MMD power supplies. Not cheap but a fair price. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
