mordaskyt Registered: 01/25/05 Posts: 360	I am considering building a desktop system based around a powerbook logic board, I would rather not use the power adapter from the laptop to power the board. The board expects 24 volts, is there any way to get this off an ATX supply?

AllElectronics.com has one for sale for 5 bucks and it can turn 5 volts into 28volts and it is selective so you can use it for 24 volts. _________________________ To live is to let die
