    customer asked me to look at a broken shuttle pc today,

    the psu is dead, new one will be about €75

    the shuttle is kept on a high shelf and used for security cams, do you think it would be safe/legal to use a normal pc psu which would cost €20 and just leave it beside the case

    yeah your right, just hate hitting people with high bills, but i suppose it looks very bad to look like a cheap skate too


    scared now, i did something similar for someone today because he was stuck to get his old win95 pc booting to record a tune from it, might drop back out to him tomorrow, he is buying a laptop

    I know that this is of no help to you? but it's exactly why I love the Lian Li cases, they take a regular ATX PSU.

    I think people don't pay enough attention to this area when buying Micro cases. Not only are the non standard PSU's heavily over priced. but you can find it impossible to get replacements for some models at any price too.
