Title: Going to be stripping down alot of machines at work
Post by: memphislights on February 24, 2009,
I think that I will have a lot of power supplies (200-250W ATX), 18ga pc power cords, and pentium heatsinks.  I'll also have a few printer cables as I strip them down.

If anyone is interested, I can put a few to the side for the cost of shipping.

Just trying to be green and recycle what I can.

-----------------------------------------------------------
OK, here's the deal.

I have the following...

20 ATX 200-250W that you can hotwire
3 AT 145-250W with switches
14 non-standard 145W where you have to hotwire a 3 pin connector

I would like to limit these to 4 per person, just to give everyone a chance to get at least a couple.

This is what I have available now...

Power Cords 18ga 5' or longer:
         
White or Grey:   56
Black:              54

I desconstructed all the PC's with a little help, but there were not as  many ATX power supplies as I expected.  The power supplies are a bit of a mixed bag of NCR, IBM, and HP supplies, most are AT-like with a some non-standard board connections.  If anyone is still interested, then I go on and start trying to test them and figure out if I can get them to power up.

Ok, I finally got around to testing these power supplies.

Most of them at 200-250W and range from 6-8A on the 12V rail.
Most of them seem to only be putting out 11.3 to 11.5V on the 12V rail.  The 5V rails seem to be about right.

Before I go on and start testing the rest, does anyone know if these will work for the MR16s?  At least that is what I am assuming most people would be using them for.

I should think they'd work fine for the MR16's.
Might want to use in conjuction with the Phils ATX power board.

I'd be interested in any heatsinks you strip - CPU or other. PM sent.

Thanks

I used similar power supplies with my MR16s last year no problem.

The question wasn't about the PS, it was more about the slightly weak 12V rail.


If everyone thinks that they can use them, I'll keep on testing.

Greetings,,,

Have you tried putting around a 1 amp load on the 5 volt supply to insure it's regulating properly?  And then check the 12 volt lines.

Did you have any load on the 5v rail when testing 12v?  A lot of older power supplies (mainly pre-atx) needed a minimum load on 5v before the other rails would regulate.

they were no load on the 5v rail.  That could be it then.  I can throw a couple of fans and hard drives and see what the 12V rail looks like then.

The 'The AussiePhil ATX Power Adaptor' takes care of any load problems and power distribution connections.

Hold up on post he has PM me asking about weither this is a coop and while I think it's really not, he will be setting up a coop listing in the coop forum just so no one can say we are not following the rules and that this is a coop.


I want to thank him for taking the time and effort to make these avaliable to users for the cost of shipping. It's really nice to have great members!
