OK, another crazy question, I've read that good quality pc power supplies can be used? I have two, very good quality, brand new Enlight Pro Spec dual, 350 Watt power supplies, they are in a single power chassis and both connect to a large positive and negative copper power rails. Easy enough to use, just plug them into the wall, and I don't care how I have to modify it there collecting dust now, so if I can use them??

Thanks!

To power the Xtrema of course, not direct charge :005:

There will be a green wire in the main ATX mobo power connector (20+ pins), all you have to do it make an on/off switch in between that and ground, which is the case of the PSU unit, or you can just direct connect it and use the rear switch to turn on, but the first option is recommended, IMO.

Then if you want more voltage, SOME psu's have calibrating pot's on them, so they can be adjusted to put out higher voltage than 12 volts.

Quite simple really. :)
