I wanna fix up one of the old original xbox 360s, but they require a 203 watt power brick. I don't wanna use an ATX power supply really, I was hoping for something very similar to what the xbox 360 already uses.

Is there anything out there I can use that puts out enough amps?

Sorry, but an ATX power supply is pretty much your only choice. If it REALLY bugs you, put it in a nice case. The only other alternative I can think of is a REALLY beefy 12V adaptor combined with a TI card for the 5VSB and some nice custom circuitry to turn it on and off. I have no idea where you could find a power supply over 5 amps that's 12V and not 13.8V though.

I dunno, just try to find a replacement on eBay?

Well, I decided that ATX is the only (cheap) route I can go. So I'm gonna get an ATX power supply on the cheap, and solder on the male connector from one of those nyko intercoolers. It'll be a cheap, decent replacement for the time being. Thanks XCVG!
