I assume you plan on powering a jamma board or something? That should work fine. --- End quote --- I was thinking of hooking up 2-4 cooling fans to a power supply to supply air through my cabinet enclosure. Would that be ok to run and not burn out a power supply? --- End quote --- A 400 watt PSU is overkill to run 2 - 4 fans... Just get a 12 V DC wall wart and hook them up that way. |

The power supply is a hand me down( free)...I was just wondering what to do when i cross that road... I was wanting to hook up the fans and also coin door lights.... --- Quote from: HarumaN on November 17, 2008, 01:08:41 pm --- --- Quote from: garnerb350 on November 17, 2008, 01:04:22 pm --- --- Quote from: Bleagh on November 15, 2008, 07:30:07 pm ---You don't want to run it without it powering anything.
