Replacement power supply for 2x old shuttles?

bledd · 10 Mar 2010 at 13:30

What do I need to buy, they seem to be hard to find..

I'm after 2x 200-300W psus that will fit in standard Shuttle cases

I would look on the famous auction site!! Many 1U PSUs are compatible with the Shuttle motherboards(apart from some of the P2 series) as they use standard ATX connectors. My SN41G2 uses a 20 pin and 4 pin ATX power connector for its motherboard.

That's where I went in the end, I hate buying things from ebay though

According to the Shuttle site you need either:

Part Number: PC60
Description: 300W SilentX Power Supply
Compatible with XPC chassis G, G2, G5, G6 and the models ST61G4, D10, K45, K48,
but it is NOT compatible with SD11G5, SS58G2, SK83G, SN85G4, SN95G5 and ST20G5.

Or

Part Number: PC55
Description: 450W SilentX Power Supply
Compatible with the following Shuttle XPCs:
SB81P, SB95P, SB95PV2, SD31P, SD37P2, SD39P2, SN25P, SN26P, SN27P2

ebay jobbies worked fine

Look for the FSP (Fortran Source) one's! I bought one a while back and they are an exact fit.

Shuttle stuff is OTT regarding the price!

Useful post. I just came back from my travels and was soooo looking forward to firing up the PC again and it started booting up and then died on me. Gutted.

So now I am going to have to find a PSU for it. Who knows what else it has popped too. Hoping nothing else, cos I can't afford any of this right now.

*edit: just seen the prices on google. not cheap eh !?!

This uses the Shuttle PC55 and PC43 PSUs like my SD37P2. These are quite expensive and cost over £90 typically. They use propriety power connectors too! :mad:

MD has the PC55 in stock for around £95.

You can try modifying a standard PSU though:

Think I am just going to rip the shuttle apart, buy a new case and mobo and be done with it.

Socket 939 motherboards are not that common any more!

I would look at the ASRock 939A785GMH/128M as it uses the 785G chipset and SB710 southbridge which are relatively recent.

Yeah I know, I'm actually selling all my dj equipment off so I might well now be buying a higher spec PC to cater for Ableton and music production software (or a Mac) lol

i'm also after one of these PSU's, my SN25P keeps losing power and turning off. I refuse to spend £90 on it though. Any ideas?

Look at the link I posted in this thread. The P and earlier P2 series Shuttle SFF PCs used a propriety PSU so modifying a standard one is the only way forward unless you buy a new Shuttle PSU.

I bit the bullet and bought a new PSU from MD. Rebuilt yesterday, crashed, rebuilt today, crashed, rebuilt again tonight and tested 1 hardware at a time. It seems 1 of my Geil memory sticks is at fault as the PC is now stable as hell. So I'll need to find a replacement 1gb stick for the other 1gb stick, or buy a pair.
