Hey, I'm lining up some wintertime projects so the Quadra 950 is on the docket...

While I'd rather do a whole-hog PSU swap but it seems like the one board someone made never got fully finished. Maybe there's a decent DIY ATX guide out there I haven't seen?

If nobody has a more elegant/modern solution, does anyone have a Quadra 950 capacitor BoM handy I can upload to Mouser? Thanks!

I just replaced my dead 950 psu with a Corsair HX1200 PSU (puts out enough amps on the 5V rail .. 30A). Fit into the stock psu casing.. just need to put together a wiring harness for the logic board side, do the usual inverter via transistor trick for ps on, wire up new 4 pin molex connectors, redo the fan wiring, and harvest the relay from the old psu to get the passthrough power port to behave the same as stock. Was pretty straight forward. I have pictures on my 68k conquests thread.
