    Wiring M2-ATX

    Hi,
    Im sorry if this has been asked before, Ive had a look around but cant find anything.

    Basically I wil be ordering most of my CarPC stuff at the end of the month, however I'm getting a little confused on the wiring the power side of things.

    I plan on running a fairly thick power lead to a distribution block and then getting the power from the distribution block to the m2-atx, does anyone have any pictures of this setup? Also the thickness of the wire from the distribution block to the m2-atx, would really love to see a picture of this.

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Watch the video in link in my signature. I don't use a distro block, but it is the basic idea.

    Wire gauge is going to depend on your power requirements. A 4 gauge will cover all but the highest requirements. You should use one of the power calculators in references in the FAQs in the navigation bar at top of the screen.
