    BT Vision case as pc case. Need help with power supply.

    I have put some bits in the bt vision box, there is no room for a power supple obviously.

    I have all the wires going through the back from a normal psu but it looks terrible as you can imagine.

    So i want to know if all the wires are needed and if i can connect the same colour wires up together?

    Or where can i purchase a connector with enough connections on it? Think its around 30 connections i will need. (20 pin atx power, 4 pin cpu vcore and a 4 pin molex.

    Thanks in advanced guys.

    Ok, i managed to work it out.

    The 30 wires are now 6 wires, connected with 2 connectors that come out of the back of the BT box. (Will show pics when sprayed black)

    The power button now works the mobo.

    Here are some pics of it so far.

    Pic 1. The internals of the original box.
    Pic 2. The old mobo i had lying around.
    Pic 3. Comparing height.
    Pic 4. Checking it fits under.
    Pic 5. The fit.
    Pic 6. The backplate.
    Pic 7. The finished back.
    Pic 8 The finished front.

    I have had to cut a hole in the top and fit a fan on top as it was over heating, the small fan at the back just wasnt good enough. I will put more pics up when i have sprayed it black and put blue LEDs on for power and hdd.

    Let me know what you think and what i can do to improve.

      I think this turned out great; too bad you can't use the PCI slots unless you have a flexible riser card.

      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

        UPS? I am using a normal power supply with most of the wires removed.

        What do you mean by battery at mains?

          Impossible to use the pcis now as the hdd is on top of them. There is no room whatsoever.
