Nope, nothing more than a high-quality ATX power supply, 300 watt minimum (realistically speaking). > Yes, you have to connect the green wire to one of the black ones in the > ATX power connector to automagically "turn on" an ATX PSU when power cord > is inserted or a proper power switch on the PSU is turned on. This is grounding out the soft power circuit. I think it depends on the power supply whether this will work. The two or three power supplies I played with on my 164LX required me to ground the soft power circuit while power was connected. If I had it grounded before power was connected, I had to break the circuit, and then ground it again in order for the machine to power up.
