This trick works if you have an old, or unused power supply. The one pictured is from an old 486 I had in the basement. Your going to cut off the molex connectors with enough wire to meet your needs.

Once you have done that, cut off the red/black combo from one side and leave the orange or yellow and black combo. That provides the +12v and ground that you'll be using. Strip a small amount of the wire at the end. Insert the lead into the Source/Ground (Red/Black) of the baybus.

When I did that, it was time to really test the unit. What upset me was the fact that there is no 'off' setting on the baybus. If you need one, look at the 6 port one that Xoxide has. You can clearly see from right to left the different settings of the baybus (Right to left: High, Middle, Low). It is pretty neat to have a variable cathode in your case. The blue LEDs go brighter or dimmer in regards to the power you give it. It didn't change much though on some channels. The more drain that you put on it (IE: 2 fans as opposed to 1) the less of a change the LED will do. I don't know why that is!

Once I knew the baybus worked, I testing all channels with my mini mod.

Here is what the unit looks like all ready to be inserted into a case. Now this is what the baybus should have had in the first place.
