Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Enhanced ATX Benchtop PC Power Breakout Adapter with USB 5V Port: Version 20/24 Pins by Bob Fasho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for my project Arcade1Up Mod

I've been getting this for a while and decided to write a review for it. I used it for my Arcade1Up Machine Mod project. Basically I modified an Arcade1Up machine using a RaspberryPi with Retropie software. I'm using an old PC power supply and I plug in this adapter to provide all the power the mod needs. 5V -> Raspberry Pi5V -> USB hub that connects to the RaspberryPi while powering the LED arcade buttons 12V -> original screen. I also connected the Arcade1Up's power button to the adapter's power button. However, I can turn everything on with a switch. However, I need to shut down the RaspberryPi (via Retropie) before turning it off. Everything spins again. It's been over a year and this thing still works like a champ!
