Upgrading the Power Supply on the Geeetech Aluminum Prusa I3

Hi Guys! I have been trying to make this video for 2 months. I finally had the opportunity upgrade the Power Supply on my Geeetech Aluminum Prusa I3. For a while now I have known that the factory power supply was just not powerful enough to reach the stable temperatures needed for printing ABS or PETG. Recently I have been given the opportunity to print a project along with one of my all time favorite designers and someone who has become a good friend, Daniel Noree. The only thing holding me back was this problem with my I3. The MeCreator2 doesn't have this problem because it uses a 24V DC power supply, but the build area is just too small. I needed my I3 to do the job. So about 2 months ago I decided to do this upgrade. I thought about buying a heavier power supply of the same style, but why? A PC ATX Power Supply is a more reliable, enclosed and a fan cooled power supply for about the same price. I went through every PSU that Fry's Electronics sales at their Brokaw Rd location in San Jose, CA. EVGA is the only one that gave a specification on what amperage the 12V DC side of their PSU was rated for. 35 Amps. 15 more amps than any 12V DC generic PSU I could purchase at Fry's or Ebay. To me, it was a no brainer. I can honestly say that if you are looking to replace your factory PSU, EVGA is the obvious choice. The included jumper shortened this video by a good 15 to 30 minutes, the time it would have taken me to modify another $8 cable to make the same exact jumper.
