I picked up a "non-working" PowerComputing PowerTower Pro 225 recently. Find here a record of my progress so far getting it up and running.


Yes, I'm linking off site, but... I'm not going to not put things on my own site and it would be silly to write the whole thing out twice. Plus I have forum data loss trust issues. 🤣

Useful info in the post so far includes information that might help you find a replacement power supply for your PowerTower Pro. It isn't as easy as it used to be because all the modern PSUs have weak 5v rails and a 120mm fan only millimetres from the flat surface of the top of the case. Or the power socket or a switch where they clash with the rear opening.
