@Dschijn Hi there, i started the project today and i made pictures and i wanted to show to you first to make sure i did it right. Hope you will tell me i did it right so i can all connect it and start playing First pic is the barrel i made. I cut the 4 wires directly off the PSU. 2 yellow wires in the plus, 2 black ones in the minus. Second pic is the 24 pins connected to the 24 pins with wire like you told me to buy 3th pic is the 2 pcie cables to the videocard I guess i don't need all the other cables on the PSU? Can i put the barrel in the akitio, connect the thunderbolt cable to my computer? Then its ok? Look forward to your reply. Cant wait to start Thanks in advance again. -

Perfect, thank you so much! So just to make sure, i will need: Akito thunder2 EVGA 100-B!-0700 PSU GTX 980 card DC stecker from your link 8-pin EPS from your link Then im complete? Or do i need something to power on the system, i do not really like using a paperclip. Does the 8-pin EPS you send the link from that trick? -

@Dschijn Hahaha ok, thats fine - Well i guess TB1 has speed enough to handle the GTX 980? Well lets say, im future proof - Perfect, if you would advice an other psu im open for it - Ok, so it won't damage the card with 3x 75W? Well i read that part like 3 times but for me its just to complicated to fully understand it, i guess when i have the right stuff i can put it together with some help Yes i would really appreciate the links, then im sure im getting the right stuff to complete the job. Thanks in advance again. Your a big help -

Thanks for your quick reply Dschijn but its not really helping me. What i understand is your selling a specific cable that i need? Whats EPS? Im really green about this and spend like 10 hours searching and reading on how to do it. Really hope you can be a little more clear. Thanks in advance. -

Hi there, im confused. I really want to build an external GPU with the Akitio as base to start. I just can't figure out the power supply part. Im not an engineer or something and although there is really a lot of information on this great forum i just don't get any further so i really really hope someone can help me going. I have a Mac Mini late 2012 top model, so quad core i7 16 gigs of ram and 500 GB SSD. I want to buy the GeForce GTX 980. It has 2 x 6 pins power connectors. I found the EVGA 100-B1-0700-K1 700W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply, which has the 2 x 6 pins power connector. But what i read is that the 6-pins connector delivers like 75 w max, so 2 x 75w is 150w. The GTX 980 needs 165W according the geforce.co.uk site. I can't solder or something so i need it as easy as it can be. I really hope someone can help me to get it right. Thanks in advance for your reply.
