Hi there couple Q's about the xbox PSU/power supply
Whats watts is it?
How many pin is the mobo plug on the psu?
Is it wired up the same way as a PC psu?
I have made a slim xbox case and got a ITX mobo thats only got a 20 pin plug on it. Was thing use the xbox power supply in it the case as in normal place it goes and install the mobo in the place were the xbox was. Would the PSU work?

I'm not sure on the watts.
As for pins it depends on the motherboard version. I think V1.0-1.1 has the most pins, V1.2-1.4 have a few less and V1.5-1.6 have the least.
There is a way to make a pc PSU run an xbox so I'd imagine you could run a weak PC on the xbox psu. _________________

This is the mobo i have and would only be running no cd/dvd drive and would only be running 1 or 2 hdds. maybe laptop ones.
That mini itx board you have uses 5vsb, The xbox PSU only puts out 3.3vsb ... theres a possibility you could get the xbox psu to work, but theres also the possibility that your system would be a little unstable. your best bet would be to go with a pico psu or micro atx psu _________________
