Modular Kit

[tgstyle]

Anyone know of a kit to make a non-modular psu modular? Or maybe some devices to do so? All it really needs is some coupling devices to place on the lines. Something that has the proper amount of connections per line and wires?

Thanks!

No to kits :?WRONG


WELL I HAD TO EAT THOSE WORDS!!! THERE IS A KIT AFTER ALL!!!

SORRY DID NOT MEAN TO GIVE YOU FALSE INFO! :? :roll:

The P/S would have to be designed in the first place allowing room for the locating of the output connectors, and not blocking any designed airflow path through the P/S itself.

The male and female plugs can be acquired through any Radio Shack online, or any online electrical parts warehouse like Parts Express, but whether your idea is a good one or not, remains to be realized.

Its in a v1000 case so I don't have to worry about airflow. I would rather have the cables hanging with the couplers then the cables I don't use all bunched up in a wad anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion of Radio Shack.

The PSU is a antec True Power Trio 650W. Airflow should not be a problem there as well.

Radio Shack online has a lot more available than a local store does.

Man looking through Radio Shack online is like looking for a needle in a haystack, this isn't what I was hoping for 9 Pin serial type male and female panel mount solder, but if nothing else could be used for 4 pin and 6 pin setups, by just wiring the terminals you need, there are male and female connectors toward the bottom of the page.

Leave it to Frozen Cpu to allow us to attempt the most dangerous pc mods possible. 8O
Not that im recommending attempting this unless you know what you are doing.

Crap you beat me to it!

I didn't know there was a kit?

But I shoulda went to Frozencpu first anyway, Oh Well!

I have 2 V1000 cases,what I did on my gaming rig was drilled some holes in the back and hid all wires in between the right side panel and chassis,you'd be amazed at what u can fit in between there,did do a little more fine tuning after the pics,but you get the idea,just make sure u blow out the case really good.:

and the end

Really clean looking! NICE!

Just an FYI, radioshack has better connecters then what you pointed out.

An alternate option to the kit FrozenCPU has.

I just wanted to point out the obvious since no one said anything... opening the PSU will void your warranty, and messing around with the interior circuitry will have a very real chance of death if you don't know what your doing.

Now that thats out of the way, why not just buy a modular PSU.. you might save some money, but trust me, the trouble would not be worth it.

 

[tgstyle]

One reason - you can't always get all the options or what you want in the current line of Modular PSUs . Thanks for the reminder on the void of warranty. I was aware of that but some people may not be.

bah, death is no big deal. Easier to spend 25 bucks on a mod and die, then to spend 80 on a new PSU...

 

[tgstyle]

On the bright side. When your dead you won't spend any more money on a computer. :lol:

 

[Doughbuy]

Well, good luck with the mod. I'll be checking the obit's daily though...

I am planning on doing the same thing only I will add the modular connections outside the PSU, and only for cables I dont' need or want to shorten.

The unused cables will be short enough that I can just hook them to the top of the case.

But thats to avoid cutting any metal. I would hate to have metal shaving get lost in my PSU.
