Step 3Power supply
First you will need to pick a place on the case where you will mount the connecters you are going to use to get and use the power and where the power supply will be mounted.. I used the opening where the floppy disc was mounted for the connecters and the lower back corner for the mounting of the power supply box. After you figure that out you will need to separate and start cutting the wires to the proper length and connecting them together according to the color of the wires.
To get the highest amount of watts out of the power supply you will need to group the wires together according to there color and splice them together. The following color wires are the ones I used for power
BLACK for ground. All the black wires connected to the black twist connecter.
YELLOW for 12 Volts. All yellow wires connected to a red twist connecter
RED for 5 Volts. All the red wires connected to a red twist connecter
ORANGE for 3.3 Volts all orange wires connected to a red twist connecter.
GREEN wire connected to Ground to turn on the power supply.
The other wires were cut short and the ends were covered with liquid electrical tape to prevent shorts.
The green wire is important to tell the power supply to turn on, without the green wire you will not have power.
I used a old piece of clear plastic to mount the twist connecters.
