Hmm I have some ATX PSUs lying around. What was putting me off was adding the +28v needed for the GE. Having said that, I could live without powered firewire and I don't have an ADC monitor so I wonder if Bunsen's tip about wiring the +5VSB line into the +28V pin would work. Using a wall adapter to supply the +28V sounded like a messy solution.
I pulled out two of the PSUs I have. Both are 300W which is lower than the 338W the original AcBel one had. The first one has both power connectors on the back, while the other only has one and an on/off switch. This makes the first one a better fit but it has a lower amp rating on the +5VSB (1.5a vs 2a on the second PSU). Would that make the second one a better candidate for the +28V re-wiring job? Or are both out of the pciture because they're lower power than the the original.
