dual psu adapter.

mike2h · Jun 17, 2004, 04:11 AM

anybody know where to get one of these?

mike2h · Jun 17, 2004, 07:18 AM

i want to set up a dual psu & this is perfect!

Danhill · Jun 17, 2004, 07:24 AM

Hmm intresting, how do you set it up??

Judas · Jun 17, 2004, 07:44 AM

That there is Convient..

Simple.. you plug the one PSU into the main adapter that connectect directly to the mobo... the one with only 2 wires.. connects to the spare PSU..... when the power button is pressed.. it fires up both PSU's....

Danhill · Jun 17, 2004, 07:49 AM

Nice, I acutally have 2 psu at home. Would be nice in the future perhaps.

Judas · Jun 17, 2004, 08:01 AM

What i don't understand is why they put the extra length of cable on there.. i mean... in my case.. i've got WAY to bloody much already!

**dj_stick** · Jun 17, 2004, 12:27 PM

i guess it would be useful for large server cases

mike2h · Jun 17, 2004, 04:13 PM

coolermaster uses it in their new 'stacker' case(great case). i have been hoping somebody had seen something similar elswhere that i could buy seperatley.

Judas · Jun 17, 2004, 05:33 PM

if you got a Dead Mobo... and some time.. you could rip the one off your mobo and mod it... and take one off a old dead psu and mod it all together...

BWX · Jun 17, 2004, 05:47 PM

I always just splice into the green remote wire and one ground wire and run them to the second PSU- then it turns on with the first one. I'm sure that's all thgis adapter is doing.

that's what it looks like with those 2 wires

Now that I look at it again it does look like that- Actually, I'd like one just so I don't have to splice into those wires- I'm having second thoughts about doing that to my new Antec 550 true control- I didn't mind with my old crappy PSU, but this thing is nice and don't want to mess it up.

madcat1488 · Jun 18, 2004, 02:40 AM

Yeah I got one with the cm stacker and it's great. The case is made for two psu so i'm glad they included it. I have some minor gripes with the case but for the most part it houses my amd fx53(939) and all the other freeky stuff I have thrown into it very nicely.

It's easy enough to do with out this

This could be used as a start to make your own, but I wonder why Coolermaster doesn't sell the thing outright? I would like one just to preserve the insulation on my PSU.

madcat1488 · Jun 18, 2004, 03:07 AM

cooler master seems to suck on getting the small things out there.
I am still trying to find a clear window for the stacker and they never answer my emails. I know it exists

BWX · Jun 18, 2004, 05:33 AM

Hey why not just call Coolermaster and tell them you bought one of those cases but you accidentally messed up your adapter, and then you lost it- so you'll have to buy another one- they should sell it to you.

mike2h · Jun 18, 2004, 05:50 AM

i thought about that. did not see it available anywhere on their site so i thought i would try here 1st. always get a good alternative/fix here.

BWX · Jun 18, 2004, 05:57 AM

Yeah it looks like you'd be stuck making one, which would probably be pretty easy.

mike2h · Jun 18, 2004, 06:08 AM

i prefer to buy a professionally made one. but if i have to i can do it. i already have the extra psu, just need the cable. & th know - how on which wires to solder. their setup is really clean. i will try to call them. nothing to lose.
i really like the case but my current case is more than sufficent right now. & if i was going to spend $200 on my comp i could think of much better things to upgrade.

maybe i will win the lottery this weekend.

BWX · Jun 18, 2004, 06:32 AM

That is an awesome well thought out case though, if I had a choice of any case- I think I might get that one- really cool features like that huge filtered side opening, filtered 5" bay covers that double as intakes when empty- a place to put an extra PSU built in, it all makes perfect sense to me.

mike2h · Jun 18, 2004, 06:43 AM

yeh, i actually got some wood checking it out.

BWX · Jun 18, 2004, 07:19 AM

you got what?

I like it, but, uhhh.... not THAT much!

madcat1488 · Jun 18, 2004, 02:41 PM

it is a nice case but it's way to easy to damage it. There are some parts that are not easy to remove and will scratch the inside. Like getting the HD covers out are a pain and like I said before scatchy scratchy

Costomer suport is none existent. I will find the windowed door but with no help from the compny that makes the actual tower and thats sad.

That is inexcusable actually- A company like that should answer their damn phones. My Maxtop case has much better customer support- I can get any color side panel with many different window/fan/both combos- And they will ship right out- and it's a second tier company.. Shame on Coolermaster...

http://www.maxtop.com/pc_csx-147kbgsf.html see- all the stuff is right there- and it's a 50 dollar NewEgg cheapo! (heavy duty and mod-able though)..

No freaking US phone number!?!?
