Purple PCB, Orange Case, One Tiny Amiga Power Supply

Building a custom Amiga power supply has been on my project list for far too long. PCBWay sponsor this video, new users can get $5 Free Credit https://pcbway.com/g/sa8ruG When my bench PSU finally released its magic smoke, it was the perfect excuse to finish it. In this video I design, assemble, and test a compact USB-C powered Amiga PSU built around a tiny purple PCB, packed into a bright orange aluminum enclosure. The goal: a safer, cooler-running external supply for machines like the Amiga 500, 500+, and 600, without the bulk of my earlier Pico-ATX experiments. Along the way I go through the surface-mount build process, the tight tolerances of the enclosure, some improvised end caps, and finally give the supply a real-world stress test — playing Roguecraft for half an hour to see just how hot this thing gets. https://shop.flamelily.co.uk/juicebox Sponsored by PCBWay, who manufactured the prototype boards for this project. #amiga #hackbuildrestore 💜 Support the channel: 👕 Merch: https://hackbuildrestore.com/store   / hackbuildrestore   🔩 PCBWay: https://pcbway.com/g/sa8ruG 💵 Paypal: https://paypal.me/hackbuildrestore ☕ Buy Coffee: https://coff.ee/nZQ31MHTpx Chapters 00:00 – Intro & Project Background 00:07 – Previous USB-C Amiga Power Attempts 00:45 – Why Build a New PSU?
