That's where this next component comes in. Instead a connection of 5vSB, it will use a secondary internal 24v PSU from a PowerBook! The connections of the PowerBook PSU will be connected to the rear mains passthrough allowing the G4 to run from just one wall plug.
The only tradeoff is that external displays can no longer be plugged into the tower PSU, but the Quicksilver specification didn't allow such a setup anyway. (If you look at the rear plate of a QS, it only has one plug cutout on the PSU)
This should allow the G4 to run without any dramas and allow room for future expansion.
At the moment I have the machine shelved until the extra parts come in, once they do, I can begin work on the final revision.
