Perhaps someone will helpfully design a "PSU stability dongle" comprising a 26.1 Ohm resistor (standard 1% resistor value sufficient to ensure >450mA from 12V)

Perhaps someone will helpfully design a "PSU stability dongle" comprising a 26.1 Ohm resistor (standard 1% resistor value sufficient to ensure >450mA from 12V) and a Molex connector. Make it a passthrough.
Of course, it'll have to be a >5W resistor, but that's what I like to call an opportunity to excel: just more room to add some rakish heat sink fins. You could even spend some of your power wasting budget on LEDs instead, but obviously we'll have to charge more for that model. The margins, you see.
- MertsA 13y agoTechnically it would have to be on the same rail as the 12V CPU power connector so a Molex 8981 connector (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector#Disk_drive_connector_.28Molex_8981_Series_Power_Connector.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector#Disk_drive_conn...) wouldn't cut it.
- joenathan 13y agoMolex is a company that makes many different types of connectors, so a Molex connector would cut it. http://www.molex.com/molex/search/keyword_select.jsp?channel=Products&chanName=Product%20Name http://www.molex.com/molex/search/keyword_select.jsp?channel...
