    Dc Dc convertor and Sumicom

    Does anyone know if there is dc dc convertor and shut controller that can be used with the sumicom s300 (cdrom size machine). Kinda new to this hobbie any help would be appreciated. I don't know which ones would fit inside the case if at all. I know the unit is a 12vdc systems with an atx connector on the board. Any Help would greatly be appreciated.

    I doubt anything would fit inside the case. However, if it's got a standard ATX connector, then the best thing for it would be an Opus.

    Slightly OT, but where did you pick that unit up (if you're in the US)?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    so who makes a small external psu for a resonable price. Also need a shut down controller that would also work with this machine.

    As I said earlier, if it's got a standard ATX connector, then the Opus is the best bet, IMO.

    It comes with nearly a foot of ATX cable, so you can place the Opus out of the way a little

    Damn since I looked into it I don't think it has an atx connector on it. I wonder how I will be able to use a voltage regulator or a shutdown controller on it. Here is what it looks like, this is the link to the board layout: http://www.kingyoung.com.tw/images/s320/S320.gif It is DC12Volts but it doesnt appear to have an ATX connector on it. Is there anyway I can use a dc dc ps on it and more importaintly a shutdown controller ?

    If you can figure out how the 12v deal works, you may be able to rig up an ITPS type device to the power input AND the power button for auto functions. This would require a little bitty bit on electronical knowledge, so if you're not comfortable don't do it. mini-box.com has posted the schematics and code for the ITPS if you desire building your own. I've built three personally.
