SS61G Help.

[Danishwonder]

Need some help here
Brought one ,and a ati 9700Pro all in wonder card. But can't get card to work as PSU is not powerfull enogh. So is there any way you chould do a modd eg: take shuttle psu out and have a good psu on the outside. is that possible ? or is there a orther way you can power this card up..

You could easily remove the shuttle psu and have a standard ATX PSU on the outside but would look bad considered swapping the AIW for a standard 9700pro ?

Are you 100% sure the PSU is not powerful enougth? I mean ive seen 3.0 gig 9800 pros with 2 harddisks, combo drives and usb devices running just fine.

Sounds a little odd.

yep when card in agp slot with the powermolex connected it just gives you 2 sec on power up then dead if you then remove the molex from card power up to you get a sceen saying "you need to conect the powermolex to the card.
any i am going to thy this taking out the psu (it is only a 200W) and have a good 400w psu behind the shuttle you can't see it and should be a bit quiet to see them .temps in shuttle should drop a bit them ,psu get warm in there !!!
thanks anyway for your help ,but keep them coming somebody most have done something like this

Well try the external PSU, being very easy to do. Like I said, I am suprised to see this as the problem.

i just thinking becurse it is a 9700 pro All in wonder card with all the extra's on it that it need a lot off power.
so you have the same shuttle as mine ss61g with a 3gigp4 ,2hdd's ati 9800 pro and the rest running just fine with same type off psu as mine ?
if that the case i must have a weak psu , but will post back when i get this 400w psu picked up sunday

Its not mine, its one I just built for a friend (didn't like his SN41G ).

Specs are:

3.0 Gig
2 80 gig IBM Harddisks
LG DVD-RW drive (I forget the exact name).
512 meg Twinmos
9800 Pro

I havn't noticed any stability problems. However the second PCI slot is not being used, is yours? Like I said, try the external PSU. I tried this on one of my own shuttles when modding the PSU with a window. Was quiet as anything. Would be nice to extend the cables of the PSU a hooge distance away from the shuttle. If you have the time slow the fans of the external PSU down too.

That could well be it, because other than the tuner the cards are pretty much the same.

I KNEW I had seen this problem somewhere else before:
