[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 797083, member: 8287"] I did this basic mod on a Sparkle 350 Watt PC Power Supply for my G4 Digital Audio. Here is a URL with a link to the instructions how to convert a PC power supply to work in a Quicksilver. Hope this helps. The URL is most of the way down the page where someone asks for a URL to his instructions. Only thing I did different is a pair of Diodes in a Voltage Doubler configuration to boost the 5VSB Switching Voltage up to around 16 VDC which is closer to what Apple uses. On the DA it always powers on that way.
