Title: Tapping in to ypur PC Power Supply
Post by: kegger on December 19, 2007, 12:41:37 pm

I know this has probably been covered before but I wanted to post a couple of pics of items that might make your project look more professional and save you time when trying to pull 5 or 12 volts from your PC. You can get these from any place that provides resources for case modding. This makes things much easier when trying to get voltage to different things such as Led's, coin doors, or lighting your trackball and such.

Hey, Hey, I like.  By chance can you provide a website?  This is something to look into.  I am at the beginning stages of building my PC.  Actually awaiting some more parts at the moment from Newegg.  One of these would be really handy when I go to purchase my GGG led-wiz, Electric Ice and Trackball kit.  What would something like this be called?  I will have to do some searching.  Thanks ,

I found a similar one online for $12.99

But honestly for $0.99 you can just buy this and solder the wire to it:

Then simply plug it in an have it come out of an empty slot in the back of the case.  That way you don't destroy the connector going to the power supply.

I've also included a picture of the molex pinouts for your convenience.  The Black wires are ground, the Yellow is +12v and the red is +5v.

Hope this helped!

I like that card slot version the best.
