Simple things about old computers we've forgotten. AT versus ATX power supplies #shorts

#shorts
Sometimes you can get an old AT power supply, including a hard switch, that works just fine. More often, you have to use an ATX power supply and an adapter to make it AT style and THEN add a hard switch to the mix. Awkward in the least. #at #atx

On the newer atx power supplies i just take the green and 1 of the black wires and connected them, easy power

Yes it was Uncle Mike. I got to get me some of those ATX to AT adapters myself.

I had a at form factor psu that cane with a at case i converted the at case to atx but i threw it away the psu beacuse iyhad so much dust and grime in it i thought it would blow up. Also you shouldn’t really trust old power supplies if your smart about electricity and how it works
