ATX Power supply quick lab connector REMIXED

Sometimes, there's no electricity available and you'll have only your hands - or more precisely an old ATX PSU is needed with it. With this small enclosure being quite versatile now, all versions of ATX 1.0 compatible power sources are able to use it anywhere. Note: This version has a serious limitation since the PSU does not have more than just one +12V power supply wire; so we're done carrying that. We now get a lot of space for mounting 2 LEDs, which can show if the ATX source is functioning properly or not. Here are some necessary tools to use: A suitable on/off switch that has an opening size of about 13x20 holes (this might be even possible with just 12x20) - A total of 5mm-sized LED - we're taking two in this instance (green and red), as well as the required resistor for a specific circuit - let's go for something between 1K to 5V A bunch of 4 five-millimeter-thick banana connectors that can easily be attached at five special mounting holes Special kind of glue like superglue so you're able to bond it securely within ATX source. Note: One more option, and we could be connecting these power supply wires of the ATX directly with the said banana connector, meaning in the course of using them for something that really matters (this would definitely work better) one should certainly have a need to disengage those connections from your actual power supply; it will become pretty simple and you might never forget. It might not be the case each and every time. The mounting holes made for LEDs might, in many cases, need an extra hole in addition so that they can securely fasten - a drill comes very handy for doing this particular kind of work! You simply would want it to make sure there's ample room on one side but you'd surely not need any special hardware here, all the needed power for that operation comes with ATX itself and that alone will guarantee it'll have proper functionality for its life.
