Salvaging a botched eBay PSU Purchase!
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.
