How to install a standard ATX PSU in a proprietary Sony Vaio case
And people wonder why I hate proprietary computers............
Sorry about the resolution, it's my phone camera and the room was pretty dark. Before you ask, the thing sitting in front of the PSU is a parallel port Zip drive. |

That's such a quality mod, me thinks we should move this thread to Case Mods and Cooling so others can duplicate this fine example of high quality craftsmanship!

Hehe...it appears it might bang into the optical drives though.

LA22, it's a parallel port Zip drive.
Cricket, it's a 250 watt Heroichi out of an old P3-500 box we gutted. Blue, it is definitely resting on the back of the top optical drive. The Vaio belongs to my partner - he got it free with a dead PSU and a screaming CPU fan. He doesn't care what it looks like - and refuses to spend money on a proprietary power supply. We replaced the HSF too, and that was part of the problem fitting a PSU, we used a generic Athlon HSF instead of a special low profile unit that it came with. That case may look decent sized, but interior space is very tight. |
