Hey,
Does anyone kno the wire/pinout on a standard (back of motherboard) USB connection? I am looking to make my own usb powered cooling fan for events such as lan parties where temps can be over 40 degrees INSIDE the lan arena causing much discomfort. How much power can a USB port provide? Talking in Amp terms that is (im looking for about .6A...more preffered though)
TIA

I wouldn't use usb for that much.
You need to look up the usb specs, I can't remember off the top of my = head. but its not amps.
think a system has to be able to supply 500mA per port. not sure what the max is a device on a port can use.
Use usb to controll but use stardard pwr connectors for the power (the hdd pwr connectors)
or something like this
