ATX adapter

Hi,
Just wondering if it's possible to get some kind of adapter to duplicate (or triplicate) the atx plug from a PSU. Basically I want to run 3 small Epia boards from a single ATX power supply.

cut + splice 3 onto one psu?

make sure that you dont overload the psu though, so make sure its rating can handle what the three main boards pull.

that being said, if you turn one main board on, all will turn on.

No one seems to sell them as its sort of a niche market

. i made one from an ATX extender (for the socket) and the plugs off old PSUs, and yes it was a pain in the ass.
