WR2 Polypheme Nov 18, 2005 27,923 6 64,715 Jun 6, 2012 #15 How do you go from your XBox 360 power connector To the 20/24pin ATX power connector for your motherboard? And that's just 1 of the connectors you need for your PC.

WR2 Polypheme Nov 18, 2005 27,923 6 64,715 Jun 6, 2012 #19 I can't see how you can jury rig your Xbox 360 to power your PC. Looks like you need a Plan B. A PC type PSU.
