16pin ATX connector

[whogivesascooby]

Hi folks

I was just wondering if anyone came across this before.

The computer itself is a Fujitsu PC and I mistakenly ordered a standard power supply without realizing that it needed a 16pin connector (which I now realize is a proprietary connection).

I was wondering if anyone came across this before with other manufacturers and in your experience is it possible to order a 16pin ATX connector for a fully modular power supply or have you had to go with a new power supply/motherboard to get out of the proprietary crap hole that I now find myself in.

Thanks for any replies.

(Edit) I am finding some possibilities on Google which I am exploring but am still interested if anyone has experience and how they resolved it.

I think you are out of luck. I checked the bay and can't find any adaptors so if there are none on there then there probably aren't any. It's what they do to lock people into their hardware and it's bloody annoying. It's probably easier just to buy a new motherboard.

Looks like it needs a rebuild to get rid of all the proprietary connections.

Thanks for the reply.
