Possible ???
JONTHEBOMB:
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.

Should I just run the perfect 360's off the I-PAC and then the lights off the power supply?
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.
JONTHEBOMB:
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?
