HowTo convert a Dolch PAC 64 power supply to ATX

[widbevdwgdhsu]

how about modify the front panel a bit and put 17 or 21inch qhd led screen?

[bizz]

The Asus TURBO GTX 1060 6GB, I suspect you choose this card because it would help direct airflow away from the CPU and out of the case? =)

[vinhtran]

Wtf!? You're insane man! But I love it!

[tigretoir]

hi, it's me again,
I manage to make the keybord work. on my machinee it was not the same config as yours, strangely. but it did work.
i was wondering, on your computer, i didn't see how you managed to get power to the screen.
Have a nice day.

This looks great! I want to do this with one that I own, when are you posting the video of it working?

[makerkey]

this is really great instruction. thx for providing this video. i would like to buy pac 64 but there is only pac 486-66 on ebay now. can i make one like this with 486-66?

[ConsideringQuiet]

Do you think this sort of mod is possible with an IBM P70/P75?

[makerkey]

i finally managed to buy dolch pac 64 from ebay '~' and the problem is.. i found a place to buy shb120 and this one's price is like almost 400 dollars. is it common price for it? i've never bought computer mainboard that expensive. the question is, how much was it cost when you bought shb120? is there anything that can substitute this expensive board?
