OK. Here are some internal pics.
*** WARNING ***
There are bitey bits in here. Stuff that will give you a nasty shock. STUFF THAT WILL KILL YOU. If you are not confident playing around with 240V then don't go here. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
OK. The wires on PC power supplies are colour coded.
The ones you need:
Black = GND
Yellow = 12V
Green = enable signal
The ones you don't need:
Red = 5V
Orange = 3.3V (may not be there)
PC's use a bunch of different plugs hanging out of the supply. Snip 'em off. There will be heaps of wires inside. All you need to know is that where the wires go from the board out to the connectors you just need a couple for 12V, a 3 for GND and the single green enable wire. Snip the rest off. You can see in the photo where I removed the extra wires - there are holes left in the board cos I de-soldered them instead of just snipping them.
I've run two of the 12V wires to the positive terminal on the front, 2 GND wires to the negative terminal on the front. I've also wired a toggle switch that goes between the green Enable wire and GND to turn it on.
Being a flash git I've also added an "ON" LED. I used a 12V LED. You could use a regular LED with a dropping resistor or a 12V globe. Make sure you leave an extra 12V and GND wire if you're going to do this (recommended).
The different brands are laid out differently but the priciple is the same. Also, see that little board with the thin blue and white wires going to it. That's a fan speed control board. Some supplies have these, others don't. They're good cos it means that the fan won't run at full speed unless it has to. This means you'll stay sane longer. Unless you're already barking mad - then the fan noise probably won't bother you!
Do all your work with the supply unplugged, then re-fit the covers before you plug it in again. Minimal chance of frying yourself then.
