looks great. one quick question, which ac-dc power adapter are you using for the psu. Have heard that some people have to get a 9A one to get it to work right. We have pretty much an identical setup, so whatever you use I should be able to use also.
Im using an EDAC adapter:
model: EA11203A
AC INPUT: 100-240v~2.5A
50-60hz
DC OUTPUT: 12-17v 8.5A
I am having some problems getting it to work though. Im not sure if this is down to the ac-dc adapter (this one is 8.5a whereas sicknasty used a 5a adapter and reported it working ok. It also could be my soldering to the sickmods atx 2 xbox adapter or the psu itself (which i doubt).
On first power up the sickmods adapter lights up all 3 leds, the psu led comes on and the xbox starts booting but the bios screen stutters and freezes (sound stutters too). If i try powering off then on again the sickmods adapter flashes the ps-on led once then it goes off and the fans pulse once (acting as if theres a short somewhere).
Im going to try using 2 zener diodes, a 4.7k resistor and a npn transistor as in this tut:
