The PS is fried in this machine also, so I was planning on mounting the
guts from a newish power supply inside the housing for the original.
The PS I'm going to be using is significantly smaller than the original.
GOOD LUCK! the power supply needs to be replaced
for a ATX at the very
least and that would be a
very custom job for you.
Not really, there's enough room inside an XT case to gut the original power
supply and make cables that will connect to a modern PSU that's put
somewhere else in the case or even inside the remains of the original one. As for mounting the motherboard, a template can be
made from an existing ATX
case for the mounting screws...if I had a spare dead XT I might have a go at
that myself :)
So would you suggest installing metal standoffs with nuts through new
oversized punched holes, or would you suggest drilling/tapping holes and
installing the standoffs directly? Or something else?
