Mod your Xbox 360 to run from PC power

This mod project shows how to power a Xbox 360 using an old PC power supply. Especially handy if you have multiple copies of the gaming consoles and don't want to shell out the big bucks for the official Microsoft supplies.

Ironically, the Llamma sells an adapter ($15) so you don't have ot void any warranties or anything, just plug into the atx psu and the xbox. PSU requirements are 16.5 amps and the 12v rail and 1 amp on the 5vsb rail. The xbox psu it 203 watts.
