im trying to make an exteranal power supply work with just IDE drive and would like to ad a switch on to the power supply so i can turn it on. I dont know really what wires to attach it to.
it has the "switch strand" i beleive which has thin green and black and purple wire. if any one can help me or point me in the right direction.
also if its possible to put a splitter on the power button inside the computer box to the internal and external power supplies turn on at the same time, that would be great.
i have a the power source but when i just plug it in it doesn't power up. a switch of some sort has to be attached to it. and i wanted to know exacly how to attach the swithc so i dont zap myself
the problem is that you have an atx power wupply they have to be pluged into a mothier baord to be able to start them, this is do to the fact that the mother baord helps set the cvolatage on them on start up. yoiu ned to fin an old at power supply

On this pick you can see how to connect two ATX powersupply with eachother, I've did this and it works fine.
