Using a 360 PUS to power a PC?

[Pug]

Posted this in general hardware, but the subtleties were lost

I've read lots about using a PC ATX PSU to power a 360, but nothing on doing the opposite: converting a 360PSU to 20/24pin ATX.

Doing so would give us 205Watts of external silent power - perfect for a half decent ITX gaming sytstem.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Some guys over at SPCR tried to use one to power a PicoPSU. It doesn't work. At all. It seems the 360 brick won't supply power to it, must be some sort of security feature implemented by MS.

If you want that sort of power the brick you need is a Dell DA2

Nice idea, but don't you also need a -12V supply for an ATX standard PSU?

PK!
