ATX power supply adaptor for Sawtooth and Yikes G4:

As I have to change the power supply of a Sawtooth, I remember this adaptor that I made a few year ago. With this, any ATX can be used in a Sawtooth or Yikes G4, without further mods.

That's interesting. I would like to replace my Quicksilver CPU with a modern (less buzzy) PSU. Is that possible?

Yes, it is possible, but the adaptor should be wired in a different way, and a ATX power source does not have the 28v needed for some Apple Monitors and  the Quick Silver.

Those mods, can be done inside of the ATX power supply case:

Was thinking of building an adapter myself (or modding power supply) but found someone making adapters to this day (well, he has some in stock at least) for various G4 powermacs.. Very nice work.. In case you don't feal like soldering/etc yourself.
