Im trying to put this new power Supply in my Optiplex GX260.
http://www.cartft.com/support/doku [...] manual.pdf
(for use in car) The problem is that it needs a M/B on/off switch. I
think i might have to find to wires from the control panel or? Can
somebody help me here?

Sorry about the spelling. Come from Denmark.

If (big IF) I understand you, and the manual, the connection would
perhaps replace the wires that currently go from teh motherboard to
the case On/Off switch. Then the power supplies optional on/off switch
(or the ignition switch?) would be used to power the system.

Maybe an easier way is a 12V to 120 (or 240) inverter? That's what I
use (with my notebook and other equipment) and it is cheap, easy to
hookup and use.

The other way is to use NO connection and turn the computer
on
manually after engine start.
