Okay, so I've recently gotten my hands on an old Fujitsu PC, Model Number MI5W-3062. Got it for less than $30, and it has an i5-2400 inside. That was everything nice about the computer, the rest is just pure OEM annoyances, the main problem being the power supply/motherboard in it...
It's a 12V only board, a small experiment from Fujitsu to move all the voltage regulators on the motherboard and only have 12V and AUX come from the power supply. I guess it kind of makes sense on paper, but as everyone can probably guess, it never caught on.
My questions are simple: First off, if I had the proper connector. would I be able to run a second power supply from the female plug on the picture, and second, is it safe to use the "Paperclip Method" to use a separate power supply for a graphics card?
