Adoe Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi Guys, I'm going to build a PC using the G4 Quicksilver case. My question is, is it possible to use the standard power supply that came with the G4? I don't know that much about this stuff, but to me all the connectors seems standard. Your help would be much appreciated and save some money on a new PSU.

RedDrag0n Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes it is, i am running a 450W power supply in my Quicksilver 2002. What you need to do is buy this adapter (if you are in the USA) or build one from scratch (like i did because i live in Canada). It works great but you have to follow the diagram very carefully if you do create your own. Sorry i read your post wrong, the answer is no, you can't use a G4 QS power supply on a PC due to the fact that is has 22 pins and it also has +25V on 2 of those wires. if you were to reverse that (a PC power supply in a G4), then that answer would be yes.
