- It's perfectly OK. The computer will only draw as much power as it needs. I use

- If you are good at DIY-work, then get a PC PSU and attach an Amiga lead to it.
- Not too difficult, but it involves some soldering and you REALLY have to know
- what you are doing. (I mean; you HAVE TO connect the wires in the right way)
