Building notes

The adapter is designed to use the old power cables, power switch and external fan. You must desolder them from the old one, being careful not to break the terminals.

the original psu provides power and control for external 12V fan on the chassis via a temperature sensor
The adapter does not include temperature sensor control, so the fan will always be active.
Due to the limited space inside the case you need to find a location for the adapter to ensure proper insulation.
maybe if you shortened the cables you could place it inside the ATX PSU
