    Default 20/24-pin ATX female port (and metal plugs and tool)

    For my brother's overdone monitor (AKA iMac G5 shell), I'm re-using the PSU. It's a weird 22-pin connector, but it's almost the same physical shape of a 20/24-pin ATX connector. The electrical's a little different: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/images/im...ply_pinout.gif. I just need a female connector so I can make it a little easier to interface into it. 20 or 24 doesn't matter, as the extra 2 pins, as you can see, are 24V, and
    GND.


    While I have your interest, I'm looking for a quick 2-wire system to disconnect a power switch.

    Whoops, I got the male/female thing mixed up....

    Need the on-motherboard-style connector, lemme look for 'em.

    As for the crimper, would my automatic wire stripper work? It has crimper stuff on it.

    For ATX pins, you want a good crimper that bends the pins back into the wire insulation. This will keep it from falling out.

    Check out the closeup pics of what the tool actually does with the pins.

    Close, but are there any that have the the MB-side connector, but able to put individual wires in? Like for a custom extension cable?

    I already have a bunch of fan-molex adapters, so that's taken care of. Just need to order the.... Other end *haha*

    OK, I found an old fan cable, so that's taken care of. Just need to find the ATX male pins.

    Take it I'm asking for something obscure?

    Yes, I do need the motherboard-side-style connector, but I'm pretty certain that those won't work.

    Actually, they'll work. Now, their sponsor email address. That something I have to find, or anybody know it?
