No More Sweaty Mouse Hands

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the to-much-spare-time dept.

    Every once in a while I like to masturbate a new word into my vocabulary, even if I don't know what it means.

    Well for USB, its not a problem, USB power is regulated and the host controller/USB driver will let you know if you are using too much power by not enabling the port. But with PS2, I have no idea what the max current rating is, but 100ma for the fan could be pushing it if you are also using a PS2 mouse and keyboard...

    PS2 Spec says 300ma @ 5 volts. The fan in the picture draws 100ma. No problem that I can see.

    If you look at the schematic for a typical motherboard you will notice that the 5 volt line on the PS2 ports is usually directly connected to the 5 volt buss.

    Feels great to get /.'ed. Thank you all for visiting my site http://hw.metku.net. Thanks to those who made mirrors to my site. hmm... this is getting similar to Oscar Gala, maybe I should thank my wife too... ;) Hope you all understand that this mod was made just for fun. I just wanted to see that could this be done. It was also intended to be a joke to everybody who place n+1 fans to their computers. Too bad that it really worked ;)
