Hey friends, I have a Performa 6112CD and the PSU makes a bit of a squeal when I power the computer on. This, naturally, has me a bit nervous. I intend to recap the PSU but for a longer term solution, is it possible to use an ATX power supply? Is there any conversion kit or anything?

6100 ATX PSU possible?

You best bet is to use an external supply like the kinds used in mini or micro PC's and then make a custom board in the empty PS case to make any special voltages you need and connect that to the old wiring harness.
The 6100 supplies are not long enough for a server type removable ATX supply.

I use one of these in my G4 with an adapter - https://www.amazon.com/FSP-Solution-Efficiency-Active-Supply/dp/B08BF1H5R1
Presumably this would fit in the case? Nevertheless I don’t mind externalizing a PSU, I just need to figure out how to adapt it to function in the 6100.

I have one that doesn't squeal for sale if you're interested shoot me a PM.
