[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1481875, member: 56379"] Very interesting. As you probably know much better than me...the ATX power supplies are usually very "traditionally boxy"...and the Powermac G5's power supply is long, and relatively flat & narrow. But I guess if the "guts" of the ATX power supply are extracted...maybe they are a lot less bulky. My assumption (incorrectly) was that the ATX power supply was somehow "stuffed" into the upper section of the Powermac G5...and I just couldn't picture how it was going to fit. So great idea squeezing the ATX power supplies "guts" into the original Powermac's power supply case!:) - Nick p.s. Thanks for the photo...it definitely helps me see how it would work!;) [/QUOTE]
