    modify a dell server psu to work in a shuttle x pc

    Brief, psu died in shuttle, too far gone to be recoverable.
    Went through my pc scrap and pulled a slim line 280w from a gutted out power edge 750 that works fine.

    It has a 20 pin atx and 6pin power connection. The pinouts are standard for atx except for the fact that there is a +3.3vsb on the 6 way along with the 2 12v suplimentary lines and There is no purple +5vsb on the 20way.

    Compared with standard atx 20 pin and other than the missing +5vsb averything is the same including colour code (i expectected it to be as Dell has been using standard atx since 2000 'ish)

    A quick probe around finds 5.7v always on a jumper pin (the stanby circuit and fan controller are on a daughter board that is joined with a row of jumpers to the main board)

    Would it be safe to assume i should be able to find a suitable +5vsb location or will i have to knock up some kind of ghetto fix to get the clean +5vsb needed.

    B4 you ask, the Shuttle PSUs are way overpriced for what they are and im getting a bit fed up with using a regular size psu and not being able to put the cover on properly. Its my plex/sickbeard/headphones server and i had it running just right so would rather resurect than start afresh

    Tried to find a schematic for it and failed
    Its marked as an HP-U280EF3 v. A00, (annoyingly the H01 version is +5vsb apparently.)
    I believe its a Delta made item?
