Connect the wires as shown in the fourth photo then test it out and you're done. If you have any questions about this build please feel free to ask and don't forget to vote for me for the "Dead Computer Contest".

I'm glad you like it. It would be very hard to make a computer power supply portable because the computer power supply runs on 110 volts. You can get a battery holder that holds 8 batteries from The Source or Radioshack.
