Any chance you would sell me the plans & parts list so I can make my own? Or are you going to make another batch anytime soon? (I'm not in a hurry)

I'm pretty sure what boards I had didn't survive the move. I did some scrounging a few months ago and didn't turn any up. Sorry.

I'm wondering the same.

I have a server psu and need to bump down one cable to 5v.

Just as a heads up, I have a bunch of un-sheathed kits in stock to sell to Canadian customers. I'll be re-selling for the same price as Sidehack, and shipping will be significantly less.  I also currently carry things like Ver 6 USB risers, as well as 24-pin 150W Pico PSU's to power MoBo's for people wanting to go strictly server PSU for GPU rigs.  Hoping to get some pics of them in action in the coming weeks when I find some time...

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
board arrived today. sleeving looks fantastic.  gonna put it on the basement rig that has usb risers; it will allow a cleaner setup as i can pull the 4 pin string off the psu and tuck this board behind the rig.

In that case yeah, it should be good. The risers pull from their own PSU and the only connection back to the motherboard is data/signal.

Not enough information for me to answer the question accurately.

okay  lets say a standard atx.

plugged into the 24 pin mobo jack
plugged into the 8 pin mobo jack
plugged into four pcie 16x slots

 take two pcie jacks from a separate psu plug into your device

connect to a pair of powered risers

the risers connect to the mobo is only via a usb cable to a 1x pcie slot

I can show photos.

okay these came today.

so fast question I can use a seperate  psu with these.  they will isolate the riser from the other psu correct?

Or, since it's taking a billion hours to get all the sheathed cables assembled (have I mentioned before that sheathing sucks? Seriously doubles or triples total assembly time) I'll get orders shipped on Monday. Gotta leave for errands and burgers in an hour and that's not enough time to finish cables, let alone finish board assembly.
no worries i can wait longer.

I can't remember if I got around to answering your PM (it's quite a few pages back now), but I'm on board for what we talked about.  Just send me the details and let me know what I can do to help.

PCBs and all components have arrived. I spent today verifying everything and setting up the pick-and-place for bulk manufacture. I ran one off to test calibrations, completed assembly on it and it's running right now with about 10A of output current on 5V with no trouble.

Tomorrow I'll do all the surface-mount for the batch and start on through-hole.

I got started cutting wires to run out cables last week but ran out of wire; my reorder has arrived. So tomorrow I'll also be finishing up cutting wire and start cable manufacture. I've got some better heatshrink than I had available for the test cables MarkAz got, which means the production batch should come out better. As of right now there doesn't look to be any reason I can't get initial orders shipped out Friday.


good news thanks

I can wait to get my hands on them !
