Okay, I am double-checking my power supply and trying to figure out what all I need to wire it and not blow up my HDPLEX, my computer, or my house.My AC-in needs to be able to handle my computer drawing ~250W, which is the power supply's rated maximum. This starts tapering off at 50C which might prove to be a problem. I have a few ideas to address this but it's a problem I can fairly safely run into and work around after the fact. My system should just crash/shut off if it isn't getting enough power, right?Most AC-in connectors will have the two wires I need to connect to the power supply, should I do something/anything with a screw-down ground wire in the case if it has one?My PSU's AC-in connector lists "Molex 09-50-8031" and "Molex 45570-3000 (crimp)" will a standard Molex crimping tool (like the one I'm getting for my HDPLEX's cabling) work?My PSU's DC-out seems to correspond to a HDPLEX's wiring, it's got 3 pins (1-3) of Main Output Return and 3 pins (4-6) of Main Output. The HDPLEX 300W has 3 pins of gnd and 3 pins of 19V (which actually accepts up to 24V), so I think we're good there.Should I be connecting Main Output or Main Output Return to the ground pins?My PSU's AC-in connector lists "Molex 09-50-8061" and the same "Molex 45570-3000 (crimp)". Again, not sure if the 'standard' Molex crimping tool will work for this.Finally, I was doing some looking around at ModDIY's Molex connectors and noticed they seemed to have connectors that all mentioned specific brands of power supplies. The coloration was different between them but I was also wondering if the height or shape of the pins or whatever else changed between them.Are there shorter Molex connectors I can get for the HDPLEX 300W?Are there different configurations of, say, 6-pin connectors I need to get to make sure I'm not getting the wrong connectors?Is the HDPLEX 300W in stock anywhere?!
