Hello, For my arcade controller I want: two Perfect 360's an illuminated trackball all the button's on the top illuminated, # of buttons about 22 I'm wondering can I use the I-PAC4 (56-input) Keyboard Encoder to power all this stuff? Will a 300watt power supply be enough? Thanks |

If you are asking whether all that will interface to the computer via an I-pac, then no. You will need a separate interface for the trackball. If you are asking whether you can drive all the lights from the +5v connector on the I-pac, then possibly, but I wouldn't. I would look into driving LED's directly from your computer's power supply. The draw on LED's is alot lower than incandescents, and you won't have a huge heater inside your CP that way. |

And could someone give me a site where I could learn how to link LED's with my power supply. So I don't fry attempting this. |

If you are going to power your lights off the power supply, you might as well power your P360s off of it as well. |

1) Will a 300watt power supply be enough? (OR should I go with a 550watt power supply) 2)How do I take power from the power supply and use it to run the P360's and the lights? |
