If your using pc fans there should be a connection for fans from the power supply that looks like a box(picture 1)wit wires coming out.Picture 2 displays the wires from power supply (on the left) and the connection on the right is the fan it just plugs right into the power supply wire.There is more than one connection for multiple fans on most pcs.You could simply gut pc leave power supply,place your power strip inside just run an extension cord through one of the opening slots.Disconnect hard drive,disk drives, floppy etc.... leave all the connections to the motherboard so you can power on and off regularly.Hope this helps...

You could just cut the plug off the power strip, remove the back panel from the power supply, and then brace the back panel back inside the case.

Before you place the back panel from the power supply on, wire up the strip to the connectors on the back of the pc power plug. Here's some pics they might make more sence.



And then



hope that helps :peace:

ok the outlet u need to wire should have 3 screws for wires, black to brass, white/red to silver, and the green/brass ground wire to the third screw, usually green.

yeah connect the matching wires, oh and use a 240/10amp wire connector thingy its allot safer than taping it.

ummm i can't find a pic of anywhere of the connector so ill try explain what it looks like, (Its got 6 holes 2xP/2xG/2xN, 3 on 1 side and 3 on the other, with 6 brass screws on top) Its made to connect spliced mains cables together.

lol don't ask me where you would buy them cause i have no idea. probably some sort of electrical store.
