| Given all the worries about power supplies in the dot.station, it might be useful to know the definition of the harness between the CRT and the PSU. The good news is that it is essentially an ATX power supply. The bad news is that it powers the CRT as well, so it might generate voltages that aren't available on a normal ATX power supply (or use extra controls). If the monitor does run off of 5V or 12V, then perhaps a 1U PSU (minus its casing) could be used to either power faster CPU's, or replace dead PSU's?
Can anyone who has their dot.station open post a wiring diagram for this harness? (I would, but my wife has "claimed" my dot.station :)
As an aside, I thought about replacing the CRT with a standard LCD, replacing the mainboard with a P4 board, and using a regular ATX power supply. Without the CRT, there is plenty of space in there for fans, etc. Of course, at this point the dot.bot would be more of a case mod than anything else... ;) | |
