I was going to ask why you used the resistors. Then I realised that you
might have used them in a low current situation.
I love the microATX, or is it MiniATX... I don't remember. Anyway the little
PC supply on my apple. It's even smaller than the A500 brick. And it has a
fan.

I see the ohm. Very nice.
