Well, I got suckered into purchasing a "mini" ~200w PSU from eBay to use in my HTPC. Sadly there was little in the description about the item other than it was a 24 pin ATX power supply model number BLAH BLAH. Sadly, I was mistaken in believing it would work for me.
Upon arrival, it sure was an ATX 24 pin power supply but the ATX connector was TINY! It was wired exactly like a typical 24 pin PSU other than the small size of the connector. Luckily joecop120 was kind enough and offered to sell me a regular 24 pin lead for CHEAP so let the soldering commence!
I hooked it up and everything is working fine so far. The PSU only has 2 SATA plugs on it so I also soldered on a single molex 4 pin but I may replace this later with a couple more. I should also add the P4 ATX Power connector but at this point, the system runs fine so I don't see the need.
